I had the pleasure of cutting Eric’s hair for many years, and often times his son as well. My heart is broken by this news and for his wife and kids especially. He truly was one of my favorite people I have ever met behind the chair.

Dear Shanna, Lila and Caleb: I just learned of Eric’s passing. My heart is broken. You are such a beautiful family. I am no longer in the Twin cities, but I will be praying for healing and comfort by our Lord Jesus. Shanna, I was 45 when I lost my husband and our children were 11 and 8. Lean on those who you know love you and the kids, hold on to one another, and may you feel the Lord’s arms around you.

I am so deeply saddened by the loss of Eric. He was not only a dedicated officer but also a loyal friend who always put others before himself. His service and his heart made a difference in so many lives, and his memory will continue to inspire all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this incredibly difficult time. Rest in peace, Eric—you will be missed beyond words. 🖤💙🖤
