Eric death has shocked everyone. Greg De la Pena shared on Facebook a sad tributes when announcing Erick’s death
One of my best friends, the great Eric J. Lawrence, passed away at 4:20pm yesterday. He was like a brother to me. Eric had been dealing with a long list of health issues this past year and in & out of the hospital the last 5 months. He really wanted to get healthy, change up some things and get back out to enjoying life. Sadly his body couldn’t take it anymore and he’s now moved on to a higher plane. We met in the 90s through his band Peoplemover during a recording session that I set up over a weekend. It was a great experience that would be the foundation of longtime friendships. Over the years we bonded over music, band jams, DJing, concerts, film, television, amusement parks, books, comic books, festivals, conventions, collecting, archiving, food adventures, sporting events and all sorts of pop culture. He was the best DJ on KCRW with his weekly radio show that would always start with the Fall’s – Dragnet (the Fall was his favorite band). He didn’t drink alcohol or smoke but he was known to bring interesting sodas & sweets to a party. I still have a bottle of Fanta Green Apple in the back of our fridge that he brought over once. One of the things I’ll miss about Eric is when he would come to our place for an early dinner at one of our local eateries like La Capilla, The San Franciscan or Old Tony’s On The Pier. Afterwards we would hangout in our den and he would have a stack of DVDs with cult movies, music videos, concerts & classic TV shows he would share with us. You knew he thought it out beforehand because he would curate that night’s presentation. Eric could also shred on guitar! For a time we would get together with friends Lenn Kano – guitar, Jimmy Lee – drums (RIP) and myself – bass every Friday night and just jam for 2 hours until we all got hungry then go out for eats & drinks. There’s so much more I could share but the main thing is that I was blessed to have him in my life and honored to be his friend. Eric, I love & miss you my brotha. -GDLP 💙😔😢🙏🏽
