A truly beloved father by his youngest son (Joshua) & a beautiful dad who loved all his children, grandchildren & great-grandchildren. 

Eric, who liked to be called (Rocky) among many other nicknames was an absolute legend! He was a Surf Legend, Rockhound Legend & just an Overall legendary person in general especially with all the people that he has met & all the huge impressions that he has made in his 77 years of life. 

A LIFE GONE TOO SOON! 

We all wanted to spend more time with Eric & he wanted the same as well, but he also wanted everything done his way & so we must respect his final wishes to be cremated & for his ashes to be scattered at his favorite Surf Spot (Ala Moana Bowls) that’s his final RIP.

WE ALL LOVE & MISS YOU GREATLY!

    Dear Rocky & family,

    As I sit here, trying to find the right words to say goodbye, my heart feels heavy knowing that you are no longer with us. Your passing has left a void in many lives that can never be filled. You were not just a friend but a beacon of light that touched the hearts of everyone you encountered.

    Your infectious personality and unwavering positivity were awe-inspiring. You had a unique gift of making people feel valued and loved, and your impact on others will forever resonate in our memories.

    Through the highs and lows of life, you faced every challenge with a smile and an unyielding spirit. Your unwavering happiness taught us all valuable lessons about embracing life’s journey and finding joy in the simplest of things.

    As we bid farewell, I am grateful for the moments we shared, the laughter we enjoyed, and the lessons you taught us about living life to the fullest. Your legacy of positivity and love will continue to inspire us in our own journeys.

    Rest in peace, dear friend. Your memory will forever live on in our hearts.

    With love and fond memories,
    David Lopez
