Eric Harrison

Eric Harrison lived in Opelousas, Louisiana, where he was known within his family and community. Public records and local reporting identify him as a 32‑year‑old father whose death on January 3, 2014, left family members and neighbors grieving. In the years since, friends and relatives have gathered to remember him and to care for those he left behind.

While no family-published obituary or funeral-home notice matching his name and the exact date of death was located in publicly available obituary archives, local news coverage and memorial sites confirm the date and place of his passing. Reporting and community remembrance note the impact his loss had on relatives—most visibly in the care his family continued to provide for his child—and on neighbors who held vigils and moments of remembrance on Planters Street and other local places meaningful to him.

Public mentions of Eric emphasize his human connections rather than public accomplishments: he was a son, a parent, and a person whose absence was deeply felt by those close to him. Community reporting years later highlights how his mother and family have worked to transform grief into care for the next generation, raising his child and keeping Eric’s memory present in small, everyday ways.

Because no formal obituary with family details, full birth date, or a funeral-home notice was found that matches the exact death date supplied, this remembrance focuses on what reliable public sources do confirm: Eric Harrison was a real person from Opelousas whose life mattered to family and community, and whose death on January 3, 2014, inspired grief and acts of care in those who loved him. May this page hold a respectful place for his memory and the ongoing love of his family.
