I best remember Eric from the days we all lived in Virginia, when I was in college. This is when I first met my comical cousin. Patsy, he used to really work your nerves when he was young, lol, but we all knew he was a twinkle in your eye. I hadn't spoken to Eric since about 13 years ago, this saddens me because we oftentimes take for granted the beautiful, short lives we have on earth, so his passing is a lesson for me. Love you, Eric, rest in perfect peace.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Fanning and Fields family. I had the chance to kick with Eric a few times when we happen to be in JC together and he was a real dude. I didn't know him well but what I did no was he always made me laugh. You seemed to always be happy and ready to kick jokes. May you rest easy and watch over your family while in Heaven. You may not have been my cousin by blood but you are to my siblings who I know you were close with, so for that my heart goes out and my prayers are with the fam. Rest in PARADISE!!! Love the THOMPSON household!!

I am still in a state of shock. Eric loved life so much and I will always remember him for enjoying life to the fullest, taking risks, not caring what anyone thought about him. He always kept it 100. I will always love him for that. I remember us having so many laughs but serious conversations also. Eric's death is one of the hardest pills I've had to swallow. RIH my crazy cousin. I love you, I know your grandma was happy to see you open those gates. She loved herself some Eric!

I snapped this photo of Eric and Erin on the campus of Norfolk State University, in Virginia, when I used to visit with them often. This is how I remember Eric, in fact, this is the age he was when I last saw him (not spoke to him), so I remember him well at this age. You can tell by the photo, he’s all of these things: cute, warm, funny, loving, silly, and mischievous!

When we’d all be in the car with Patsy, there were times when Eric would have Patsy screaming, “ERIC!!! Get out! Just get out of my car!” (This would be within a block or two of their house). Eric was nonchalant, he’d get out, like that was what he’d set out to accomplish from the beginning. LOL. I didn’t go to say final good-byes, this is how I want to remember Eric. Happy birthday dear and enjoy your heavenly journey!
