Like many others, I saw Eric's story on Intervention. He seemed like a great person who really did light up the room and make others feel at ease. He had such a warmth to him and obviously loved his family. It was heartbreaking to look him up and see this result... I was really rooting for him. Addiction is a horrible monster. I sent a little donation to learn2cope for him as the family requested. Hope the family is doing okay and finding some peace in these years after. Best wishes.

I am so very sorry for the loss of Eric. I didn't know him personally, however, I saw and learned of his battle with addiction through the Intervention show. He seemed like such a wonderful loving person underneath the Heroin. This is so tragic; but I believe that Eric is now, finally free, perfect, and happy. Hugs & prayers to all the family & friends left behind.

Eric was one of my Best Friends & I miss him ALL the time! I’m so glad to see people still honoring his memory 2yrs later! Eric & I were either using together or sober together! I’m almost 4yrs sober & he’d always say, “if you can do it Britt, I can too, right?” I tried all I could to help him. I picked him up from hospitals from OD’s, hotels when he relapsed, work in FL almost every day, meetings, CrossFit, etc! He moved to MI and I talked to him a couple days a week, every week! I talked to him a couple days before he passes & he told me he was struggling again & it was bad! I knew after that phone call he’d either get better this time or he wouldn’t make it! This time I could feel how deep his pain was. He truly SUFFERED from this horrible disease & he’s now out of the mental agony he hated so much! He was THE MAN where ever he went, he knew everyone, he was kind to everyone, and he made us all laugh! I’ve actually, to this day, never laughed as much and as hard, as I did with him! I’ve known too many people who have passed from addiction. They call it “stepping over the bodies.” Sadly enough, I found this saying to be true, and after a while, you just get use to hearing “Hey you know (insert name) died! Oh and that kid from rehab, oh and that girl from your sober house.” Almost like it’s just a monthly update, it becomes numbing! The morning I got the call about Eric, it literally knocked the wind out of me, I dropped to my knees and cried a sadness I haven’t felt since, and I still can’t seem to shake!! I miss him so so much, it hurts! I know anyone who was blessed to know him, will always find a piece of their heart missing! Find comfort knowing he’s not in anymore agony, he’s not suffering on a daily, and know he’s running around heaven making angels laugh with his thick Boston accent! I love you Eric and I won’t let you down, I’ll keep fighting this monster one day at a time! RIP E! I’ll love you always!

I live in Perth, Australia. Recently I found the tv show Intervention on YouTube, and found Eric’s story. The stories about heroin addiction touch my heart, as both my parents were heroin addicts, and my father lost his battle 3 years ago (19/04/2016). I searched to see if I could find an update on Eric’s progress and found this. I just wanted to extend my deepest condolences to you and your family, as a person also affected by long term family drug use, my heart goes out to you all. I pray you find peace and and understanding that you did everything you could. May his beautiful soul Rest In Peace.

Very saddened after just watching intervention and following up to see Eric lost his battle with addiction. Even through the addiction his lovely nature still came across and the love between him and his parents in the programme. I'm so very sorry for your loss and hope Joe is doing well. Rest in peace Eric xx

I am so sorry for your loss. I was Eric's platoon sergeant while he was stationed at 1st LAR. We shared a bond because I am also from Massachusetts. He always had a charasmatic way of making everyone smile with his thick accent and deep voice. I still think of him once in a while and it always brings a smile to my face. I hope that time may bring you some peace.

Hi, I didn’t know Eric personally I just watched him on intervention and I am saddened to read he passed away in 2017. Erics story really touched me, the light that was in his eyes when his parents came to visit him at the treatment center, it was obvious what a charismatic character he was.
The worlds loss, Rest In Peace Eric.

I am very sorry for your loss, and I cannot imagine the overwhelming sadness you feel. I watched his episode and he touched my heart. I am also an addict. He is one of the reason I got clean. I watched him and how much he reminded me of me. I have struggled so much, and he gave me so much hope in a hour than I had my whole life. May God watch over you all.

I'm heartbroken for him and for his family, who were so clearly shown in the episode to be such a loving, supportive family. My prayers for Eric and for his family to get through this terrible time. May he rest in peace.

I didn't know Eric personally, but I grew up next town over. I saw his show on Intervention and I couldn't be more sorry for your loss. He was a great guy fighting a hard fight. I think a lot more than his home town is filled with sadness this week. May he Rest In Peace.

Eric you are someone I will never forget. You seriously would light up the room when you came in. Your laugh, so contagious! You always kept it 100% real to me and to anyone you spoke with. Whether it's what we wanted to hear or not. You will forever be missed and I will never forget you!!
