He enjoyed riding dirt bikes and was a passionate supporter of the Dallas Cowboys. Most of all, Eric treasured time with his family—whether enjoying quiet evenings at home or sharing laughter on a family outing.

A man whose kindness and integrity touched all who met him, Eric built a life centered around those he loved. He shared over three decades with his devoted wife, Deana Herman, together raising a loving family.
