Eric Wayne Fluker, my only child, enter this earthly realm as a highly loved child on December 10, 1978.
Eric grew up attending The Holy Temple Church of Christ and Central Baptist Church in Washington DC until he left for college. While in college, he occasionally attended a campus ministry. Eric loved God and knew God was his source.
Eric graduated from Crossland Senior High School in Temple Hills, Maryland. After visiting several colleges, he chose Delaware State University in Dover, Delaware to begin his academic journey. He later transferred to Florida A&M University (FAMU), in Tallahassee, Florida and graduated in 2004.
Eric's passion and love for music was evidenced at an early age. Over the years, he built a full-fledged music studio where, under the name Eric Rochelle Productions, he produced, recorded, and sold "Beats".
Eric's work ethic was like that of his father, Lee Cooper. He was dedicated to being on time, (and most times before time) and to doing his best on the job. From a teen/young adult, he was concerned about the plight and well being of people. This led him to an approximately 18-year career in the social services field as a caseworker. Even though he found the work to be stressful at times, he was committed to doing all he could to improve the lives of his clients.
God was good to Eric and allowed him to grow and achieve the desires placed upon his heart! With each goal he set for himself, he plowed ahead with bulldog tenacity to accomplish them. Although what may seem to have been an unbearable or insurmountable challenge, God enabled Eric to successfully finish his course. All who were fortunate enough to meet him loved him.
We will remember Eric with his big smile and ready hug as he entered a room with arms open wide and his loud greeting of, "hey, hey, hey"!
Eric leaves cherished memories with his father Lee Cooper, mother Juanita Cooper, brother Norman Cooper, sister's Linda Cooper and Jennifer Ray, a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, family, friends, and acquaintances. Sleep on Eric, take your rest. You know we loved you dearly, but God loves you best!
