Hey Eric,

Happy Birthday, You would have been 24 today. I know that you loved the color green, got some shirts that I know you'd love. I really miss you, I keep remembering all your jokes. I especially remember Thanksgiving. I talked your ear off about Scotland, and I loved it. You were always so easy to talk to. You were always so caring and thoughtful. I remember hanging around at Christmas when you explained to me about the present wars. I wish I'd joined it now, I want to continue that tradition with Marie. I remember you making me cappuccino, first vanilla then caramel. That was so sweet, after I'd told you how much I missed the Wild Bean Cafe in Florida. I remember watching America's Funniest Videos with you. We used to watch and I remember one time I just couldn't stop laughing, we were watching it with your mom. I miss teasing you about winning arguments, by the way I won anyhow since I got the last word. I remember seeing you for the last time, you teased me about being blonde, you always teased me about that. I can't help it though, blondeness runs in the family. All except for you with your gorgeous red hair, but you can't escape it you're an honorary blonde. I miss pretending to boss you around with getting me games. You worked so hard for the game Oasis for me. You always were so giving. I miss you so much. I know you're in heaven watching over everyone. Just know I love you and miss you severely. You were an amazing person. I wish you hadn't gone. I know Marie and I are like sisters, well you were my big brother for a while. I love you Eric.

Hi Eric! Was just thinking about you and wanted to let you know that your friends miss you and still think about you all the time. You're a sure-fire way to bring a smile to our faces. Like an I feel happy button without any bad side effects.

By the way, I'm releasing the new version of the UI we worked on soon. It's been difficult working on it without you (on multiple levels), but it's starting to come along. I've replaced the normal silly yell the character makes at the end of installation with a prominent comment/yell about you instead. Soon, the name Eric Simmons will be heard all over the world. :D

Take care Tigerheart!

I was sitting here visiting the sight thinking about how very much I miss you Eric. I visit you here every day, looking at the pictures of our family, your beautiful smile, when you were little, your laugh, your silly humor, and your wonderful hugs that you always had so much of to give. I talk to you in my heart, and even out loud, hoping you can hear me, and feel how much I love you and miss you. I look at those pictures, and I still just can't believe you are gone. I know you are always here with us, in your spirit and in our hearts, but somehow it doesn't seem like enough. I hope you know you are in my thoughts every day, and that I miss you more as each day passes.

Remember that I love you to infinity times nothing, my favorite redhead in the whole wide world!!!

Love you

Aunt Lisa

Dear Angel Eric's family: I did not have the pleasure of knowing your son, however he sounds like an incredible young man. Please know I completely know and understand your pain. I lost my Angel Erica on June 6, 2006, in a rollover car accident. She was 22. Please know you have my complete sympathy and will keep you in my prayers. It is a long and bumpy road and I still don't know how I have survived the loss. If you need someone to talk to please feel free to e-mail me or call me at (208) 392-4963. Angel Hugs,

Laura - Angel Erica's mama

Eric was like family to us. We have been friends with his parents for years. He was a wounderful person, and would help anyone. We loved him as if he were our own child, and his sister to. When we needed help on the computer he would always be there. We will miss him alot, and wish his family well. We love you ALL.

How do I express my feelings about my grand son, I loved him so much, When he was small he would spend the night with me we would be up until 3 am doing crafts, but I told him it was a secret that he got ice cream for breakfast! I cant tell you how many hours we spent doing the crafts together,I am very lucky to have spent the last 6 years living next door to Eric and Marie, Eric loved Christmas and just the gathering of family, As He grew up he knew more then most people but yet he was always sweet, funny and kind,it will always be so hard I can still see him with his quilt I made him worn and torn around his shoulders, But he refused to part with it. Jim &Cindy are good parents ,And he loved his sister they were the best of friends,I am so glad that we had the time to Love Eric, We will always carry him in our hearts and memories, Good night my Eric I will always

love you Grandma Simmons

Hey Tiger,

Just thought I'd post a message to let you know that we're still thinking about you daily. I, personally, have not done one iota of work since you've been gone. It's just not as fun without you anymore. Anyway, excuse me for using your guestbook like this, but I thought it would be nice to write you in this way.

Eric was a classmate of mine at Baker College Online. He was such an inspiration and help in my work, especially when trying to figure out Javascript for the first time.

He had a great mind and had such great promise! We will definitely be at a loss without this bright young man.

TH,

Looking back now, I wish I'd told you what a great guy you were more often. I don't feel I acknowledged that enough, and I am truly, truly sorry. You meant more to me than you know. You always knew when I was down, and you never failed to cheer me up...even when it seemed impossible. I'll miss you TH, miss the tells, miss the walls of text, and your ever present cheerfulness. As always, much heart to you Tiger. You'll always be in my thoughts.

Eric was everything a grandparent could wish for in a grandson. He was kind, gentle, caring, loving. And we were always amazed at his brillance. His grandfather and I will miss his sweet smile and his thoughtfullness. Eric's heart was so full of love for everyone. He never had a bad word about anyone, was always so happy and smiling, and never happier then when he was helping someone. And would get his big smile when told how much help he had been. There is a huge void in our hearts and in our lives with Eric gone.

Eric loved family gatherings and the Holidays and birthdays will never be the same again. I know that Eric is looking down at us and knows how much he is loved and how many friends he has. He is his sister, Marie's guardian angel and I know he will take care of her.

We, his grandparents, want to thank everyone for their wonderful comments regarding Eric. To know that his wonderful personality/personna came through even on the internet and that so many people "saw" what a wonderful young man he was is comforting to us. Please always remember Eric is still with us, in our memories and our hearts. And a special thank you to Al for this website in Eric's memory.

I'm still having a hard time grasping all of this. It's just so irreversible and frustrating. The one person who should know all of this stuff is him, and he's the one person who can't.

Anyway, I've know Tiger for the majority of the time I've been playing WoW, and I was fortunate enough to spend a lot of time with him these past six months working on stuff outside of the game. There's such a palpable void now that he's gone. I think Jovis said it best when she said that she can't believe we'll never see another "Tigerheart has come online" message again. No more "sup". No more "I can make a mod for that!"

A surprising thing I'm going to miss is how he was always so eager to show his know-how and how clever he was, even though we all already knew it. He had nothing to prove. He just enjoyed pleasing people. I would always tell him to chill, and he'd always keep doing it. I have to smile about it now. It was just his nature.

Another thing I didn't appreciate enough is how infectious his excitement and cheer was. He often made boring things like programming or raiding a lot more fun than it should have been. One thing that comes to mind is my current UI stuff. I have a long to-do list, many of which are items that Tiger and I discussed; some were even things we were planning on implementing together. I look at that list now, and it just feels like a completely different list. Not having him participate or looking over my shoulder bugging me with a more "clever" way to do things, makes the entire process now feel like work, whereas before it felt like play, like an interesting challenge. That may sound just like post-tragedy blah's, but I think it's a testament to his personality and what he brought to the table. His curiosity and excitement was infectious.

I really do hope he's in a better place. I just hope he doesn't have access to the interwebs. Knowing him, he's probably watching me play now and saying "I know the meaning of life now, Mazz, and guess what...frost sucks lol".

For those of you who do not recognize my name, I am Eric's Aunt, his Mom's sister. Eric was not just a nephew to me, but also a son. He was a wonderful, loving and gentle soul, on this earth not nearly long enough. As his Mom expressed, all of those whom have reached out to express their care and condolences are such a comfort to us. It has been a tremendously difficult time for us all. We miss him so vastly there are no words to properly describe. Eric truly was TigerHeart, as he lived a fierce life, learned fiercly, and loved fiercly. When Eric left this world, he took a part of each of our hearts, to hold until we meet again. I love you Eric, my favorite redhead in the whole wide world. I will miss you always. All my love,

Aunt Lisa
