I had spoken to Eric the day before he passed. The morning of the accident at 8:38am, I sent him a Happy Fri-YAY message because I knew he did not work weekends. I´m still in shock about his passing. He was such a wonderful young man. He was a great friend to so many people. There´s so much more I wish I could have said to him. He was grateful for waking up every day. He lived his life to create boundless memories. He was perpetually happy; never without a smile, it seemed. His mom and his kids were his whole life. My heart breaks for them. He was truly one of a kind. Wise beyond his years from life experiences. He was a whole vibe, living life on his terms. His energy could change the way a person felt. His smile could light up the room. He is certainly missed and he is still dearly loved. His light was extinguished far too soon.
Missing you so much, Young Buck!
It´s never "Goodbye", it´s "I´ll see ya later".
