Eric Kendall Powell - Online Memorial Website

Talking to a friend the other night I found out about the passing of Eric, He and I work together at Guitar Center in the warehouse in the 90's. I remember helping him move into his little apartment over on Fountian Ave in Hollywood or working outside gigs like Guitar shows. Maybe it was a short time to get to know someone but he was a brother, always upbeat, a joker, talking about Seattle where I started with Guitar Center in the 70's. Basically he made working there a joy. Being that I was quite a bit older and been there for years to witness the turn over of employees at Guitar Center he would after I left be one that I would never forget and I do share in your sadness... RIP Little Brother thanks for the memories

I remember when I first met you, man.  You, Randy and I and all the good times we had cruisin' the strip in your Caddy.  Remember when you stopped the elevator between floors?  I think that was the same night that you scared me silly.  Remember the Rainbow and El Compadre?  Dude, some of the funnest times I've ever had were hanging out with you.  Thought of you for no real reason today and the memories came flooding back.  Miss you a lot, my old friend.

We just heard of Eric's passing. We give our condolences to his family. How difficult to lose someone so early in their life. We worked with Eric at Guitar Center in the late 90's. He was a great guy, always wanting to make people laugh. The last time we saw him was at our wedding '99. I pray his family has had some healing since his passing. I know his presence has been missed.

I met Eric when he was still in Texas,  a few months befor he moved back to Washington. He had just lost his job at the Aquarium in Downtown Houston.  But he was still always in the best of spirits.  He became one of my closest friends and had a huge impact on my life.  When he moved we lost touch.  Ive always thought of him almost daily and am so grateful for the short months we spent as friends.  I just found out today about his passing.  I cant stand it that we lost touch.  I am deeply sorry for his wife and parents to have lost such a huge life force...It is hard to even fathom that he is not with us any longer.  I pray for Eric and his family.

I ma sadden to hear about my friend Eric. He was a great friend and co worker. I remember him being funny and silly. Always happy and polite. I am sorry for the loss. I will always remember him!

Eric,

It does not seem possible that you are gone.  Thank you for leaving so many memories of your passions and the things you loved to do.  Thank you for giving your family a clue about your short life and guidance as to your wishes after death.

We thank you for your contribution to the cause of helping people through medicine throughout the world.

You are missed.  You are loved and have not lived in vain.

With fond memories,

Linda Harder

I knew Eric when I dated his roommate, Matt Ursin back in 2000.  He was always so nice to me even though I was so obnoxious back then.  He had so much energy and was probably one of the most "real" people I ever met.  He will be missed.

I still can't believe Eric is gone. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. R.I.P.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Eric. He and I were classmates at West Mercer Elementary and IMS.  We shared a few laughs and experiences a long time ago (video games @ MI 7-11, pee wee football (his pic in the green football jersey brought back that memory), etc. I remember how much life he had then and his adventurous spirit.  He will be missed.  God Bless!
