Mr. Eric Nunnery

Eric Nunnery On Saturday November 11, 2023 16:31pm at Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center the angels of the Lord descended and escorted Eric to his eternal home in heaven. Born on November 21, 2004, at 1:15 am in Lafayette, Louisiana, Eric Nunnery graced the world with his presence, to his parents, Artimese Nunnery and Eric Harrison. As a member of Our Savior's Church, in Opelousas, LA, Eric's life journey was imbued with faith, love, and an unwavering spirit. From the moment of his birth, Eric exhibited a strength that left an indelible mark on those who held him. His tiny hands, with the tightest grip, spoke volumes about the resilience that would define his character throughout his life. To his mother, Artimese, Eric was not just her first child but a force that changed her life and heart forever. Eric's upbringing was marked by joy, humility, love, peace, understanding, nurturing, compassion, and infectious smiles that left an enduring impression on all who knew him. Despite facing the loss of his father early on, Eric's positive spirit and unyielding happiness never wavered. He approached life with an enthusiasm that transcended circumstances, bringing happiness to those around him. A cherished son, Eric embraced the role of Artimese's first child and Eric Harrison's first-born son. He was a source of pride for his parents, exemplifying the values of family, love, and resilience. Never one to complain, except perhaps about chores, Eric's cheerful disposition and helpful nature endeared him to all who knew him. Eric had a passion for life and a list of favorite things that included his PlayStation 5, his fiancée, mother, brothers, sisters, grandmothers, grandfather, stepdad, basketball, music, playfulness, family vacations, and the simple act of checking in on the well-being of others. His happiness, infectious laughter, and genuine concern for those around him created a tapestry of warmth and love. Despite the obstacles he faced, Eric achieved remarkable success in his academic pursuits. He graduated high school recognized for Honor Roll, obtaining his NCCER in safety, Twic, high ACT scores, OSHA 10 hour General Industry Course, and an Automotive Technician Certificate—all while juggling a job. Eric's dedication and work ethic were evident in every endeavor. Looking towards the future, Eric dreamed of continuing his education at USC. His aspirations included studying for a CDL, pursuing mechanics, aviation, safety courses, and contemplating a career in law enforcement. His youth was a canvas on which he painted the evolving picture of his dreams and ambitions. In honoring Eric's memory, we celebrate the beauty of the life the Lord chose for him. May he rest in eternal peace, and may our family find solace in the cherished memories they share with our extraordinary young man. Eric's legacy lives on in the hearts of those who were touched by his kindness, strength, and everlasting joy.
