This young man had a good personality he knew what he wanted just had got excepted to Chico state, had a beautiful smile, he's hella funny, if he saw you feeling down he would cheer you up and do something silly to make you laugh. He was a force at skyline academically advanced in Upward Bound, and played on the football team. I could always talk to him, he listened and heard me like no other friend, i came to him about relationship advice. He leaves this planet with his lil sister who he said many times, he wanted to do good so she could be proud and look up to him. He stayed 7800 and despite being exposed to a lot of violence, named after his uncle who was killed, he managed to stay out of a gang life, which makes it that much more sad that he lost his life to a bullet. According to his grandma he was shot in the head outside his house by a drive way, 3 of his friends were injured.
(Kristi Holohan designed this beautiful portrait that will be on tshirts, Celina Lopez took the photo and I interviewed her and transcribed her words for this post)
Also check back this young sis is making moves and all that she does is honoring her bruh bruh who lost his life way too young. RISE IN PEACE in you knew him and want to say something to honor him (no haterjabber) please email me, or make a comment.

NOT THIS WAY NOT NOW, FUCK!, NOT EVER BECAUSE HE WANTED TO LIVE FOREVER! HE FELT HE COULD LIVE FOREVER CAUSE HE SENSED A GREAT POWER WITHIN HIMSELF AND THATS WHAT MADE ERIC ERIC! HUMBLE SIMPLE DUDE WITH A LOVE FOR LIFE AND HIS FOLKS,, HE HAD A HEART THAT COULD TURN A COLD SOUL, ALTHOUGH HES SPEECHLESS IN DREAMS, HIS EYES SAY HE MISSES HIS MOM, SISTERS, TIAS, UNCLES, PRIMAS AND BROTHERS, YOU CAN SEE HIS EYES WATERING BUT HES NOT CRYING, ERIC NEEDS YOU TO LIVE YOUR LIFE, BE HAPPY AND CELEBRATE, EVENTHOUGH NO ONE HAS THE ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE HOW YOU SHOULD FEEL, REMEMBER HOW HE MADE AN IMPACT IN YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM HIM, WHAT HE LEFT IMPRINTED IN YOU AND USE THAT TO GET WELL AND PAST THE GRIEVANCE OF A BRIGHT YOUNG MAN AND BETTER YOURSELF AS WELL AS THOSE AROUND YOU DYING YOUNG IS PAINFUL BRUH, ITS NOT WHATS NOT THERE ANYMORE, ITS WHAT YOU LEAVE BEHIND.
