Eric Landon Rivenbark, 53, of Willard passed from his earthly life on Tuesday, December 29, 2015 at New Hanover Regional Medical Center.

He was born April 27, 1962 in Burgaw, the son of Betty S. Rivenbark and the late Roland Parrish Rivenbark. Also remembered is his sister, Terry R. Swain who preceded Eric in death.

In addition to his loving mother, Eric is survived by his brother, Dean Rivenbark (Susan); sister, Cynthia R. Fennell (Vernon); several nieces and nephews; and special friends, Chuck Harts and Frankie Seamster.

Everyone thought Eric was different. He was unique and no one tried to understand him. He was happy, always telling a joke and a loving person. Most of all he loved God and his Mom. We had a special bond for 53 years. He was tired of being alone, so God took home to be with his sister and Dad. I'm sure he is happy now. He can't come back to me, but I can go to him one day.
Play your drums, Eric. Love and see you soon, Mom
