Eric believed in hard work and was very committed to running his company, Hatch Diesel Injection. He took pride in everything he did and did it to the best of his ability. He loved hunting, fishing, and spending time at his deer camp. He believed in traditional family values and was devoted to his family. Eric adored his grand babies and was devastated when he found out that he would not be here to see them grow up.

The family would like to thank Dr Thomas Chiasson, Dr Joseph Lockwood, Dr Scott Haydel, all the staff at TGMC Rehabilitation Center, Dr Sukesh Manthri, and especially Stephanie Derocher, NP, for her compassion, patience, honesty, and going above and beyond. The family is also grateful to Haydel Memorial Hospice and to everyone who visited, called, and prayed.
