My Most Sincere and heartfelt sympathy to your family. I had the privledge to serve alongside Eric for a few years & was blessed by his dedication to unit , peers and country. He was a Soldier and most of all NCO of the highest caliber & a friend to all! I can relate to your families grief as I lost my father years ago @ a younger age than Eric. Time will help ease the pain .My prayers are with wife & children, for he is at peace with our Savior ! God bless your family

Deepest sympathy to the family. Eric was an exceptional Soldier, NCO and just a great all round guy! He ALWAYS took care of his Soldiers as a Senior NCO and First Sergeant and was well respected.
Sorry I was not able to attend visitation. Godspeed to his family. May he Rest In Peace.

I Had the honor of working with Eric for 5 years at TVA Paradise. Eric was always someone I admired for his multiple talents and his love of his country and family that he served so well. He was a great problem solver and care giver to anyone in need. You could always count on Eric. He will be missed and I am sure that he resides in Heaven . My prayes and deepest sympathy reach out to his family for the loss that has come much to soon in his earthly life.

I just read about the recent death of Eric (way too soon) and I know the Kessinger family and loved ones have saddened hearts today. So I wanted to share beautiful scripture where our heavenly Father, Jehovah God (Psalm 83:18), promises us that he is going to do away with man's greatest enemy, death. Rev. 21: 4; "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. Isaiah 33:24 guarantees us: "And no resident will say "I am sick," ever again. God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises, including the resurrection. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection. (John 5:28, John 6:40, John 11:23-25) Jehovah invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. Psalm 34:18 It is my prayer this scripture will give you comfort in your grief. If you feel up to contacting me, my email address is: myranj@centurytel.net

Eric was the best Soldier that we had the pleasure of serving with. His kind caring way, and his love for his family inspired us. Even though you have gone away, you will always be with us in our hearts.
