Eric Sanders Obituary

In loving memory of a wonderful person. Eric was a gem, whose friendship l treasured. I will love you and miss you always.

Not a day goes by without a thought of you

Back in the early 1990's, I worked many a night with Eric as my partner on the 025th District North Avenue foot post. It didn't matter how cold or snowy it was out there, Eric always had various secret locations available for us to hide that were both warm and undiscoverable to our sergeant. As others have said, Eric was certainly one of a kind! I'll always look back fondly on our time together. RIP, Eric.

Wow!! Where do I began for such a great loss to myself! First of all I would like to give my deepest sympathy to the "Sanders" family on the lost of such a great HERO! I have known officer Eric Sanders (Star 3551) for 30+ years and was sadly shocked to learn that he passed away! You will forever remain in my heart and on my mind! And..... You definitely knew that I LOVED you!! and you know the impact that you had on my life! I will forever miss you! :( LOVE ALWAYS....... Tracey, Antwon and family

My deepest sympathy to Eric's family. He was my partner in 025 District but we were more than just partners. We often were at each others house's, he knew my children and they fondly remember him and are sadden to hear of his death. Our lives were very similar. We both grew up on the west side we both attended St Mel High school we both were in the US military and served in Vet Nam. It was only natural that we became partners. We had great times together both on and off duty. Eric was a friend and I will truly miss him. I will keep him and his family in my prayer's God Bless

It is with sadness and deepest condolences to the family on the lost of Eric. He was always one of a kind! Eric will be missed by many! I worked with him in the 025th District. He is now in the hands of God.
