Eric took on many passions. One included technology and computers. He had an incredible talent in building computers. His vast knowledge and talents expanded to music and guitar building, wrestling, gaming, collecting, video editing and much more. He had a memory that always surprised us and a knowledge about anything and everything. He adored his cat Mr. Sushi and took incredible care of him.

One of Eric’s passions was Japanese culture. He traveled to Japan and had such a meaningful experience. He had another trip planned and as heartbroken as his family is that he will not be able to take it, there is a sense of thankfulness he was bold, brave and made the journey when he did in 2019.

Eric is survived by his parents Peter and Diana Johnson. He is forever remembered by his sister Lisa DeGraff and her husband Sean DeGraff.
