Thank you for this lovely tribute to your brother. I am so sad for your loss. Your brother had a great smile and I'm certain that you and your family have his smile and his warmth with you always. We all have to die sometime. It is a shame that he was taken so soon, but he died for something honorable. We don't all get to do that. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. God bless you all.
omg patrick this is keely nikki breighners little sister this song brings me chills everytime i hear it even though i didn't know him i can tell he was a great guy!
hey patric, greatings from germany! i still miss ur brother so much and watching that video still makes me cry. i wish i could be in the states with u all more often and i hope u all doing well! take good care patric - eric is always with us!!!
ABC showed a clip of your video during their broadcast of 20/20 tonight. They were discussing videos that were sent back from Iraq, and tributes made to soldiers. Your video caught their attention. You did a great job of paying tribute to Eric.
Thats so sad I was crying my blessings with you.Allot of my familiy has served military and my grandfather just died recently who was in the air force and my best friend is a Marine and might have to go out to Iraq too.
Thanks, Christie. He will always have a place in ALL of our hearts, in one way or another. Him along with all his fellow fallen heroes those who have gone before him and those who will continue to die with a dream to one day in our lifetime see peace. Eric is not forgotten, nor is he lost.
I love this video Patrick. Thanks for sharing it with the world. Although it was along time ago we dated, I will love him forever until the day I die. He always will and always has had a place in my heart. Thanks for keeping his memory alive. Luv u guys lots, Christie Stubbins
Thanks man, your words mean alot. It blows me away how people can seem as if they knew him, just seeing this video. And it shocks me that you are absolutely right that he is the kind of person that you can just tell he is a soldier and a good man just by looking at him, and seeing his eyes.
Im so sorry for that guy belive me, but if a man had a nice family then its all worthy, GOD BLESS AGAIN TO TELL
i cant belive hes my age, i was a soldier too, but man
that song inspirted me so much, simple man is just telling alot, not everybody can be just simple thats for most of the people difficult to be, og my god i wish i'd knew this guy, i belive that he was a good son and soldier-i saw other guys, a person you can know what he is just by seeing him standing RIP AGAIN im so sorry
RIP GOD BLESS--MY WHOLE SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY--NO ONE ll BE FORGOTTEN--IM IN HIS AGE, RESPECT TO THOSE GUYS BEING MAN IN THIS AGE GUYS BEING LIKE BABYS--YOU CAN BE PROUD IN HIM--WHOS THE ARTIST OF THE SONG SIMPLE MAN?
Thanks alot Mrs. Dirks! Ha, my mother always used to say that that was her song to Eric. Interesting coincedence! My deepest respect goes out towards your son. Treasure him. He is a hero, and he is YOUR hero.
Just another comment because they don't allow enough "characters". I have to comment on the song, "Simple Man". I want you to know how appropriate it is. You see, I dedicated the same song to my son, Arnold years ago because it was so fitting. SEMPER FI, & God Bless. K.Dirks
Wonderful video Patrick! God Bless you and your family. I am also from Severna Park and my son is a US Marine who just got back from his first tour in Iraq. Our hearts and prayers are with you, God Bless! K. Dirks and family
Still in my Heart! I love u so much Eric, never be forgotten! God bless u and ur family
