I have a lot of respect for you. I saw your story on BOP website. I take comfort knowing that the offender was convicted and given life in prison, and they are seeking the death penalty.

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Eric,
Five years now since your EOW. Sadly I remember hearing the news, learning how much your death affected your fellow officers and their respect for you. Prayers for you, your dear ones, and all concerned. May it never happen again.

Eric and family,

Since your death many many changes have taken place in the Bureau. Unfortunately we have to lose staff for things to change. Eric you would be so proud of how hard your mom and dad have fought for the Bureau and the changes that took place.

Thank you for your service and unselfish sacrifice for your fellow man! You belong to HIM now and forever! May your family and friends find comfort and peace in that fact. God Bless!

My deepest condolences to the family of this fallen officer. Having over 27yrs with Missouri Dept. of Corrections, with almost 15 in custody, I've had my share of rebar clubs, assisting with seperating rival gangs, fights, stabbings, rapes and hangings. It's a whole different world in this line of work and anything can happen at any time. What makes a person choose to run to a situation rather than from it? I think it is a solid commitment to those you work with and those you work for(the public). Eric obviously felt the same way. May God bless each of you and may you find strength through His Son Jesus Christ.

My deepest condolences to the family, members of the department, and those served, at the loss of this officer. May faith, family, friends and time join together to ease everyone’s pain at this time of loss.

While many other career choices were certainly available, this officer chose to protect his fellow man, and for this we give everlasting thanks. As the Good Lord hath said, “Blessed are the Peacemakers.”

Thank you for your service, your convictions and moral character, as well as your devotion to duty. May you now rest in peace, knowing your fellow brothers and sisters will watch over your family and continue the Watch!
