Eric A. Ayon, 26

RIP brother

I presented his Mother with the "Gold Star" at Eric's burial.Words cannot express the sadness & sorrow I felt for her. Beautiful Family & Friends.
My Son went on to become a United States Marine..

Thank You..

I knew Eric from mid valley a probation school he was a great mentor to me, he was like my big brother . he helped me get a job, he was a really good friend. he helped me get off probation. Eric helped me get on the right track in life. I miss him.... I always remember when i would be in the office and he would point at his marine poster and talk about joining......REST IN PEACE.......................

I was stationed in Iraq the same time Eric was we shared the same room in combat out post we called each other "cebollita" honestly I can’t recall why the last memories I have about him were that he was writing a letter to his son a couple day before his birth day so he could receive it on time, me and him were big fans of lupillo Rivera and Ramón Ayala we would sing a song ill never forget its called "que me entieren cantando" Eric, onother partner of us , Villalobos and I were the only ones that were mexican and in the room that would listen to this music, all the other marines were white. it was so funny, we would sing so loud the people from other rooms would come and see what was going on I’ll never forget those days even though they were bad days we made the best of them RIP brother and you live with me in my mind and in my heart take good care of us because your in a better place....

I've known Eric since Jr. High School, so many memories in that time span. Eric was always the guy you wanted on your team, or in your company he always brought a smile. I will and do miss him dearly. he will always have a place in our hearts.

I will never forget about you. We use to live a block away from each other, I use to come by your house and we use to boxs in your front yard. I know your looking down on us. oh before i forget to tell you. I saw your sister a few weeks ago, she is doing good. I didn't know you passed away, I was at glendale forest lawn looking around and I saw Marines flag, so i walked up to take a look. And when I saw your picture my heart stoped and I started crying. My dad was in the service too. I just want to thank you for everything. You'll always be apart of my family..

Miss you Wiwi!!! Everyday I think about you
I love that you have been visiting me in my dreams a lot lately. Your such a great big brother. One day we will all be together again :)I love you very much!!!

Your baby sister

RIP hermano. Marines hymn....

If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

I don't even know where to start! We lived across the street from each other, and every summer, we would hang out on the block with other kids and play baseball or during the copa mundial, we would play soccer and hang out . He use to always bag on my sister and I for being proud ghetto swap meet girls, and we use to bag on each other for days! He always kept us laughing and saturday nights we would for sure hear ramon ayala bumping!
