About Us

​I would not want my worst enemy to go through what I went through relative to my son.  I have no enemies and have no ill in my heart but to lose a child is bad.  To lose a child when a school can take your 'precious' and allow him to have a death like this is heart breaking.  I wanted a child so bad - boy or girl it didn't matter but I wanted a boy -someone to carry on my name. When we got the good news of Erik I was the happiest father in the world.

 Erik died just 13 days after his 20th birthday in Costa Rica. I placed 13 Roses where his body was found facing down.  In my earlier writing I should have made it clear that chaperones from these schools need to be held accountable as well. How can a school take away a FUTURE of my child or your child? My son was swimming with several students and facility members when he was caught in a riptide, reported an article form the Georgia Daily News.  My son's body never resurfaced.  The other students and faculty members caught in the riptide with him were all unharmed.  Erik's body was found three days later in the waters off Playa Pinuelas facing down.
