Eric Kass

Jennifer, my deepest condolences. As you know, Eric and I share our birthday, 8-star Marathon Manic status, and 50 states finish. I had the privilege of running quite a few marathons with him. My heart breaks for you and your family. He was dearly loved for his quick smile and great personality. Hugs to you all.

To Jennifer, Owen, Gwen, and all of Eric's family - I am so very, very sorry to hear of Eric's death. He is a wonderful man, fun, likable, and I know how much he loved you guys. I'm shocked and stunned and don't have the right words, but I suppose there are no right words when someone is gone far too soon. Praying for peace and love for all of you, and that friends and family sustain you in this dark time. - Anne Tjaden

I am shocked and sadded to hear of Eric's passing. I worked with Eric at CDW. What I will always remember is Eric's ear to ear grin that could light up the room. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time.

We are sooo sorry for your loss Jennifer, Owen and Gwen. Your husband and father was much too young to leave all of you. May you feel God's love through all of your family and friends that care so much about you and your families. May you also find peace knowing Eric is now safe with God. Please know our hearts are hurting as well knowing all of you are going through this difficult time. We are unable to join you for services and feel very sad we cannot be there for you. Please know our prayers are extended.

Good-bye, my running friend. You will be missed in the Marathon Maniac community. I will think of you during my next race.
