He will be missed by his wife, Oceana Dudley; parents Rick and Bonnie Breedlove; daughters Brooke, Kathlein and Emma Dudley; stepdaughters Kaylie and Christina Brock; sister Leah Tillotson; brothers Frank and Josh Breedlove; one grandchild and one on the way. Eric left us too early, but he made good use of his time here. He was a hard worker, a devoted family man, a good son, a true brother, a loving husband, an amazing father and a fierce friend. He had a fearlessness in life that was in perfect harmony with his love and devotion to his family and friends. He was a boisterous and masterful storyteller, who expressed his love for his family without reservation. He was a good man and made his family proud. He will be missed beyond what words can describe. He is riding on streets of gold until we see him again.
