Eric has 3 brothers living; Michael and James Lewis from Springfield and Christopher Banks from Kansas City, MO. He also leaves behind 2 sisters from Springfield, Amber and Jessica Lewis,13 nieces and nephews in MO, as well as a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
He will be remembered by his laugh, his charm, and the love he had for his family and friends. Eric loved God and knew God throughout his entire life, and was baptized at a youthful age with his aunt Ina Graham. His love for music was his peace and escape for all walks of his life, he will be missed by many who loved him dearly. He knew life was short and lived it the way he wanted it to be “Free” of any worries.
Eric lost his life through a mild heart attack at the age of 39. Remember him as the son, sibling, cousin, friend, and father that joked around, ate big plates, working toes, loved the ladies, and only having 2 dollars not to give. He is no longer suffering from the battles he faced but dancing the sky and preparing for a new race. So shed no tears, it’s a time to celebrate as he has gone to a better place.
