84BDsop Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Eriq Escalon, a 4 year BDA vet (guard, 2002-2005) was found dead at his home on Tuesday...the San Francisco police are treating it as a homicide, but few other details as yet. A fund has been set up to help his family. Information can be found on a Facebook page set up at https://www.facebook.com/pages/In-Memory-of-Eriq-Escalon/222616777859209 I think I remember Eriq from 2004 when I played with the alums and A & B corps brass at Jerry Seawright's memorial. He looked at my K-20 sop and could not believe we only used 2 valves back in the day. I also remember a bright smile. RIP Eriq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contra94 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 According to a group of his friends, they are hoping to be able to sell some wristbands this weekend at Family Day, and use the proceeds to establish a BD Scholarship Fund in his name. I'll be buying a couple wristbands. RIP Eriq. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cainan Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Holy crap. It really sucks when real life (in all its ugly technicolor) jumps up and slaps us in the face. All the condolences possible to the family and friends of this young man and of course to his Blue Devil family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsubone Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 This is just so terrible. I can't even come to grips with what happened. Eriq was such an amazing person, also so amazing to be around, and to think that something so terrible could have happened to such an amazing soul is just heart-breaking. I hope something terrible happens to whoever is responsible for this. I will be donating to the scholarship fund, and doing what I can for the family. I know they will be selling bracelets in support and BD's Family Day this Saturday. The world lost a wonderful person and instructor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
