He was born in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, on March 6, 1962, the son of Diana and the late Philip Johnson. He was a graduate of Tulane University and the University of New Orleans.
Eric loved immensely and joked constantly. He loved cooking, music, history, and art and shared his passions with his family and friends. No one could be more proud of his children and grandchildren than Eric. Eric was most happy when he was surrounded by his family, especially his grandchildren, whom he adored and loved without bounds.
Eric will be sadly missed by his three children, Haley Freeman, Victoria Stewart, and Erica Morabito, and their families, and three grandchildren, Oskar Freeman, Daisy Freeman, and Leonardo Morabito. He was preceded in death by his sister Sarah.
The memorial services will be held on the 28th of January in New Orleans, Louisiana.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Irving Cares (Irving, Texas) or Operation Phantom Support (Killeen, Texas).
