Though his life was short, it was fully lived. He was naturally shy, but once he got to know someone, he revealed a wonderfully silly side and had a memorable laugh. He was a quiet, gentle soul who found his voice in his passions, whether he was out on his motorcycle, hunting, fishing, diving into video games, or enjoying his favorite shows like anime and The Simpsons. He could happily talk about the things he loved for a long time.

Eric was deeply genuine and fiercely loyal; he would do anything for his friends and family, always ready to lend a helping hand. He was incredibly resourceful and a natural problem-solver, gifted at building and assembling things. He faced challenges in school with a quiet grit, never stopping and never giving up. His family was endlessly proud of him when he graduated, stepped into a good job, and began building his career path.

Always full of happiness, his bright smile had a way of making everyone around him smile, too. Though he was taken far too soon, he is now an angel watching over us, and his spirit will live in our hearts forever.

His memory will be forever cherished by his mother, Roxana; his father, Alexander Sr; his older brother, Alexander Jr; his sisters, Briana and Gabriella; his four grandparents; and his two great-grandparents; along with his aunt, two uncles, and many loving cousins and friends who will miss him dearly.
