25th, 1985, to Linda and Scott Hill, Eric was a lifelong resident of Chico. He graduated from Chico High and spent his career as a Telecommunications Technician.
From a young age, Eric embraced the outdoors from camping trips on any given weekend to snow skiing and later snowboarding at the local surrounding mountains and Lake Tahoe.
He was fearless and not scared to try new things and lived life to the fullest through his outdoor activities and appreciation of nature and the different seasons.
He was talented and artistic, from photography to being an accomplished self-taught guitarist.
Eric savored the good things in life, especially cooking. He loved planning a meal and trying new recipes for family and friends.
Whether it be a holiday feast or a spontaneous casual Friday night dinner, Eric would be found prepping in the kitchen and then at his command post behind the grill.
A hard-core Giants Baseball fan, each spring and summer you would find Eric with his friends and family attending as many games as possible in San Francisco, or gathered around the TV cheering on their favorite team. Eric was an animal lover. From a young age, he was always surrounded by dogs and when he moved out on his own, he even brought along the family dog Rocco to live with him permanently.
