My sincere Condolences to Michele and Children. Eric and I met many years ago in Colorado Elk hunting. He was hunting with his Dad and crew, I liked Eric right off , he was a Great Hunterman and loved the mountains. We all had plenty of quality time together out and reflected on each others past/families. I respected Eric and his family, sending Prayers and Peace to all your Hearts. God Bless, Tom Bivens

Deepest condolences from a long lost cousin. I had only met Eric once but he seemed like a good man . I was very close with his father, JP, as I was growing up but I left the area before Eric was born…My mother (Rosie Burden) was JP Burdens sister…
God Bless him, I hope he is in a better place…
