I went through the academy with Eric. He was one of the greatest guys I have ever had the privilege of knowing. A solid guy who would literally give you the shirt off his back. A good friend and a good cop. I will miss you Eric. CO# 04-33

I went to high school with Eric and even then he was a really nice guy. He's going to be missed by all. He was an inspiration to me by his determination on the football field. RIP Eric I'll see you again someday.

I have never met Officer Hernandez yet ever since hearing about his death I have been so hurt and didn't think someone i did not know could effect my thoughts so much. I couldn't imagine what his faminly is going through now and I pray for them everyday. For Eric, you are missed by so many who loved you, and so many that did not know you, may you rest in peace.
— Meredith
All my prayers are with his family, friends and co-workers at the 52 PCT. I never had the privilege of working him over the radio but I'm sure he was a great cop as well as a great person. This should have never happen to such a young vibrant guy. You will truly be missed by all of us here in Communications Division. Only the good die young and God has taken you under his wings and I know you will be watching over all of us. RIP ^i^ Officer Eric Hernandez ^i^

I did not get to meet Eric in person, but I heard many great things from his fellow comrats at the 052. Ever since this tragic incident, my prayers and those of my fellow comrats where with him and his family. It is sad to know that a young man and a great cop is gone. We know you will be watching over us and protect us as we continue to fulfill your dreams. May you RIP my brother. We love you and you will be missed. From your Brothers and Sisters at the 043 PCT.

Eric was the most wonder person you could ever meet. He had a heart of gold and a smile that could melt any heart. He will be missed beyond words. But I know he will be my angel keeping an eye on me from heaven. Till we meet again...

I've known Eric since I was 11. I am now 21. Throughout those 10 years of him being in my life, I knew he would be there for me if I needed him..like a big brother. He was the perfect guy..a beautiful personality and a baby face. He was always on the right path in life. He was so full of life and I'm mad I had to say goodbye to him so soon. But he will be in my heart forever..he's truly unforgettable!
— Jackie L

Eric was one my best friends, no matter the situation Eric always had a smile on his face and looked to have a good time. He could take any situation and make everyone involved have a good time. Eric was one of the best football players i ever had the honor of being on the playing field with. To Eric his family, friends, and Job always came first, His famous words to me were always .." Yo Relax!" because to him life was easy, never stressfull. Eric never wasted a momemnt of life...always taken every oppertunity to do something positive, wether it was playing football, workingout, spending time with his family, or serving the people as one of New York's finest. During Eric's time in the Hospital i had the honor of meeting his father's entire family and i see why Eric was the man we all knew...Strength, Love, and sacrifice are just some of the things that were apperant in Eric and his family during this time. Eric was a friend that u would have for a lifetime, that would give you lasting memories, and an Officer with the highest integerity. Eric will always be in our hearts, and for me everytime i step on the feild, wether to practice or play there will always be a part of #20 right their with me!..I miss u Dog
— LeVar
Eric was the best cousin anyone can ever have. He was my friend and my cousin. I was always able to talk to him about everything. I will always have you in my my heart and prays, Eric. We all love you and miss you. I will be with you again someday. LOVE U ALWAYS *E-Bonez*
— Cousin Chrissy
All my prayers are with his family, friends, 052 pct, and everyone else who knew and loved Eric. God Bless You & R.I.P. Eric...you are our guardian angel, you will be missed by everyone.
— Angelica
I had the pleasure of knowing Eric and saw him in the gym numerous times. I always wondered where he got his strength from. After meeting his father....i knew then. 2 nights (WED.) before that unforgettable night, i had the pleasure of hanging out with Eric and my friend willie also from the 52 and we went all the way to middletown to hang out and meet up with some people he new. I was like why are u bring me "ALL" the way up here to hang. Anyway i think about that all the time. When someone leaves us so suddenly you always think about the last time/moment you had with that person and that was mine. Eric is in a much better place now and doesn't have to worry about people like those cowardly savages who attacked Eric. God has something for those M/F's. like an article i read it the daily news today (Feb. 19), there was a reason Eric lasted those 11 days after the incident.....so everyone can say goodbye...friends, family and all those who supported his life on this earth. May God bless his family and his friends. Anyone who knew Eric knew a great young man, a inspiring athlete, smile that would light up the room, among so many other things. Eric was taken from us too soon but that is cause God needed him in heaven to work with him. LOVE YOU EEEE. you will be missed.
— Carlos Villanueva 52 pct
I didn't know Eric personally but felt for his family. I lost my 24 year old cousin last July as well and can understand their pain and sadness. Rest In Peace Eric, may you watch over everyone in death as in Life.. God Bless You and Your Family.
— Carla Silvestre
The NYPD is very proud of you and always will be. You did your very best while you were here and will be missed. Your life and charisma will always be an example of how we should be. You have touched many lives and may God grant you eternal peace.

Aunque nunca conoci al Joven Oficial Eric Hernandez me conmovio saber sobre su tragica muerte. A su familia y seres queridos mis mas sincero pesame. Hoy el Joven Oficial E. Hernandez nos mira desde el cielo y continua en nuestros corazones y memoria. "Lastima que nunca te conoci; hoy rezo por tu descanso eterno ya que eres parte de los ANGELES en el cielo".
— Doris Cardona R.
I have known eric for about 7 years now. He has been a huge part of my life being that he is my boyfriend's best friend and has also become one of mine. There are so many great memories that i can think of when i think of Eric. I think about all the times we went camping, going to the beach, going to and watching many Yankee games together. One of my favorite memories that i have of Eric is watching him play that great football game last year against FDNY. I will never forget the look on his face at the end of the game when there were little kids running up to him asking him for his autograph. At that moment i was so glad that we had traveled all the way to Staten Island that Friday night to watch him play. There really are no words to describe how much i will miss him, he will be missed terribly by everyone who ever knew him. "A Golden heart stopped beating.. Hard working hands at rest... God took you...to prove... He only takes the BEST..." #20..always in our hearts. Until we meet again Eric.
— Lauren
I have not seen you since you were about 9 yrs. old. I am so sorry we didn't get to know each other and your cousins, my daughters, Natalie & Katherine. I heard so many people chatting about you and the good things about you. You were loved by many and got many support by family, friends and strangers, that comes to tell you many were all for you. People from all over were praying for you and your family. All family members that showed up in the hospital even if they didn't know you cared and were there for your mother Cynthia. It has been along time but what matters is they were there for her and you. We will all be looking out for her. God has a plan for you....serve it well Eric I know you will. Hope you meet up with your cousin Jimmy which I know you saw not to many years ago. Now he is up there with you. God Bless.
— May you rest in peace, your cousin Becky
There's one thing that really bothers me about the death of Police Officer Eric Hernandez. Everyone is so quick to judge his actions and make remarks about his judgements, meanwhile Eric is dead and cannot even defend himself. It is so wrong. People need to get their facts straight. I feel for his family and i will continue to pray for them. I wish i had the pleasure of meeting Eric. He seemed like such a great young guy with such a promising future. Only the good die young and thats certainly true in your case, Eric! Ill keep praying for you Eric even though i know you are in heaven watching over your family and friends. May God Bless your soul!
— Kelly
I did not know Eric Hernandez, but his tragic story has saddened me immensely. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Hernandez family in this time. It's sad to see such a young person with limitless potential leave this earth so soon. RIP Eric and May god bless you and your family.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Officer Eric Hernandez, a vibrant young man, respected and loved by so many people. I had been following the tragic events which ended on 2/8/06 when he passed away. My heart goes out to his parents and family. He is in heaven now, one of God's Angels watching over us. May he rest in peace. Eric, you have touched so many people and will always be remembered and loved. God Bless You.
— Regina Allen
Happy 25th Birthday Eric!!!! I hope you continue to watch over all of us that you left behind. I won't forget what you did to inspire me and I won't forget the lasting impression you left in me when we went to school together. I miss you always!!!
— J
happy birthday baby. I know that you are watching over me. You were always my angel. RIP.

Eric I never got to meet you, but I feel so saddened to lose someone in my NYPD family. From the day I heard about this incident I prayed for you and your family. May god hold you close in his arms now and forever. You will always be remembered!
— Benny
Eric Happy 25th Birthday. I know you loved the football balloon and the flowers I left for you on your grave. As the football balloon waved around in the wind I thought about you and how you would have jumped over my head grabbed it and started running. RIP...miss you more than words can say.
— M
Eric, the truth was revealed NJ courier, your birthday..I know you wanted to get a house together...but Angels are bred on earth...you wrote 2-8-6 on your baby picture, four years before giving me the picture..New Years eve you said I love you so much titi..everything will be alright despite the warning dreams we discussed... Eric you are who you are because of your mother's sacrifices, the long nights of homework tutoring, the bible lessons, the decisions your mother had to make. No one can take that away from us....You are in my heart and the signs you are sending are well received...PAPO in Heaven is guiding you..Love Titi, Alaska
— TiTi
I went to Manvillle High with Eric, and he was a very sweet guy. It's such a shame that such a good person had to leave us.
— jackie torres
Eric, I think about you everyday, and i miss you so much, i always thought you'd be wit me forever,when you went away to college, i was heartbroken,lol, i didn;t want you to go, i was so afraid that we would lose touch, and there were times that we did but when ever we caught back up with eachother is was like we were never apart,You are and always will be my best friend, no one will ever compare to you, i still think about the times you'd sneak in my window, when mom's locked you out, i can remember one time i accidentally kicked you onto the floor because i thought you were the dog,ha ha.And how dad use to come in my room and the first couple times he'd go into a rampage because you were sleeping in my room at 3 am, but after awhile it was kinda like oh it's just eric, my family loves you so much, we all do, god we went through so much together,i still think about the time i had mono, you sat by my side everyday for hours, and gram would say eric go home your gonna get sick, but you didn't , you didn't want me to be alone. i can go on forever about the times we had, i just miss you like crazy,sometimes i think this is all a bad dream and i'm gonna wake up, i know now in my heart that your ok, and i can say now for sure that i know i have a guardian angel.. just make sure you meet me at the gate.. i loved you then, i love you now and i will always love you, my window will always be open....bff

I just want to say that even though I never met Eric, I did go to some of the games. He was a great player and from what I hear a better cop. God wacthes over the men and women in blue.

Even though Eric has left us, his memories will remain in our hearts, especially those who knew him. The NYPD force may have been weakened, but the lord's army is that much stronger. Eric is not in heaven because of how he left us or because of the beautiful person he was (Although he was as beautiful as they came) but because of a little conversation that took place one evening, within the past year, and a reading from John chapter 3 verses 15-18. Now that Eric knows the truth, he would have wanted this shared with all that knew and loved him. No!! I'm not preacher, just someone who shared this wonderful news with him. So I just ask those who knew him, please take on a characteristic that you identified with. For many are Great. Being a hater and unforgiving was definitely not one of them. I just regret not getting to know him as much as I could have, But when we meet again we'll have eternity
— A brother in christ
Eric, I miss you so much. I wish we had more time. You grew up to be a beautiful young man, but I'll always remember you as my baby cousin, and the little boy who loved jumping on the bed. I feel you, I feel your presence in my heart all the time. You were so loving, kind, and warm. Til the next time we see each other again, I love you.
— Cousin Angie
Eric, It's suppose to get easier as time goes on but it's only getting harder....I miss you and love you very much. Keep smiling down on us.
— Maria
I did not personally know officer Hernandez, But any time you loose one of New York city Finest the whole city looses. The City looses a person who devoted his time and life to serve and protect. God bless you and your family May St. Micheal hold you close to him.

Eric i cant believe its been 3 months since you were taken from this world. We all know you're in a better place but it doesnt make the loss any easier! You were taken from us far too soon...Rest in peace and watch over your football team!
— nypd brother
Eric it has been almost five months since you were taken from us and I still can?t believe it. I have been trying for so long to write something but I still can?t seem to find the words I am looking for. I know usually for me words are not a hard thing. But this time I can?t. So I am just going to try. I miss you more then words can say. I am so great full that we were friends. Everyday I think about you. Everyday I miss you. It doesn?t seem to be getting any easier. I know that I will see you again and that I have the best angel one can ask for. I know you are watching over me. You don?t know how much it hurts without you here. The things we did, the things we went through. All the good time and all the other stuff. I will cherish every moment that we had together. I love you! Until we meet again. Kristin
— Kristin
Eric, i still sit here waiting for you to walk threw the door, the days go on and still no Eric and the pain remains the same...I miss you so much, more than words could ever express, i look at your picture every single day and i know in my heart that you are watching down on all of us, protecting us from the evils of this world...know that i love you so much and that i am so very proud of you. Missing you so much always.... Barbie (Ma)

Cynthia raised Eric for 18 years..eric admired and respected her and the struggles and hard work to raise him..his gift to her was his suggestion that he buy a house for them which I was going to help them with. Eric graduated and wanted to get an apt with cynthia, but she told him it is time after college that you spend quality time with your father.. 3 daya before he died he looked at his two cousins,and said we are all we have..cherish it!
— dkichura,RN
I have known Eric for years since he and my sister were going out in high school. He was such a pleasure to know he was like a yonger brother to me. After graduation we didnt keep in touch that much however when I did see him he always had a HUGE hug n kiss 4 me. Always invited me and my son to see him when he lived in the Bronx(White Plains). I will truly always regret never going up and spending time with him. GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS MOM!I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN IN YEARS TO COME ERIC!!! LUVS YA LOT SIS *~*~*~*TAAMI*~*~*~*~*

— ANTOINETTE C.
Eric, I can't believe that it has been almost 6 months. I think about you everyday. I have had the chance of getting to know your dad and his family over the past couple of months. I can see all of the good qualities you got from your father. They have been great to me during this time and for that I will always be greatful. I miss you everyday. Until we meet again.
— Kristin
It's been almost 4 months and the feelings are the same. You touched something in my soul and I was never the same. I know your watching down on me and keeping me safe. I miss you so much it hurts. I love you now and always.

Eric, It's 6 months today that you have passed. You touched something in my soul and I can't let go. I haven't been able to visit your grave in a while but I will try to put some more football balloons and bears on it. I'm sure your happy where your at now but so many people miss you back here...until we meet..again...love you!
— Maria
Dear Eric, I know were going to miss you, eventhough we only knew you for 2 years, you were a brother to all of us. The last time I spoke to you, is the way I will always remember you, you gave me a quick handshake, grinned, and said "I'll see you later". I cried until my tears ran dry, then cried some more, we all did...you left us to soon E, but what gets me through the day is knowing your life had a purpose, you touched so many of us in so little time...standing next to your bed seeing all the people you touched, made me proud to know you. "I'll see you later"
— M.Burgos
Dear Eric, It has been over six months since you left us. There are so many people who have been touched by you, some didn't even know you, but through those who did know and love you they came to know a very special young man. One person in particular is "Regina". She has visited your grave and left flowers for you every month, because she knows how special a person you were. I remember seeing you in my backyard hanging out with Kristin or playing basketball in our driveway. Now you are a "Special Angel" helping others as you did in life. You are never far from out thoughts and prayers. Kristin & I talk about you every day. There are so many special memories for her. You are forever in our hearts.
— Nancy
Eric,it seems so long ago that i saw you yet it seems like yesterday...it still cant get used to the fact that you are not at our house every day, it just doesnt seem right. people say it get easier as time goes by but to me it gets harder because the more time goes by, i realize that i have to wait a lifetime to see you again...you were a part of our family and always will be, there isnt a day that goes by that we dont think of you and wish you were still here...i wish we had more time Eric but i cherish the time that we did have...i know you're in a better place, even though i cant see your face...i know your smiling down on us...you are the best angel anyone could ever have watching over them...miss you more than words could say.
— Lauren
Well, Eric the end of 2006 is here and my God how hard of a year it's been without you. Not a day has passed that I haven't shed a tear for you. I lost my cousin, friend, and a brother. Everyday that passes your in my thoughts. The holidays are here and wish you was here with your family, to enjoy my cooking, oh how you loved my cooking. You are always in my prays and in my hearts. I love you so much and can't wait to be with you again for eternal life. Your mother misses you and there's not a day that passes she doesn't talk about how good of a son you was. She loves you and misses you. Always in our heart... Your cousin Chrissy, SALICHS Family!!!

Eric, We all went out to see you today. There were some old friends ther for you and some new ones as well. It is so hard/painful for me to go and visit you but I pray and have Big Mike to help. I have always had a special attachment to you and I beleive it stemmed from that fact that I was in the hospital the day you were born. Grandma and me were provided special viewing of you that night by Dr. Sultan. From that day on I have had a special place in my heart and have had a painful time knowing you are not here. I have always felt as if I needed to look out for you and have felt as if somehow I failed. I get some comfort from knowing that Grandma/Grandpa are with you and that you being one of God's Angels was necessary although we may not understand it. I miss you, Grandma and Grandpa very much. I pray that they will help us get through these holidays and that you along with them may have a wonderful holiday with all the angels. Until we all are together again I WILL LOVE U AND CHERISH YOUR MEMORIES FOREVER. TITI

Hello Eric. I had the pleasure of meeting your Father, Step-mother, Sister, Aunt and friends Eric, Lauren, Nancy and Kristin on Saturday when I came by to visit you. Everyone has made me feel so welcome, especially Nancy and Kristin, who have shared so many wonderful stories about you. You are loved and missed by so many. The world is a much better place because of you and I know your family and friends find comfort knowing that you are in Heaven watching over them. Rest in peace sweet Angel. Continue to watch over us all, and guide your family and friends as they go through life. Merry Christmas.

Dear Eric, today Kristin & I went to visit with you and it was so beautiful out. The sun was shining brightly as if you were smiling down upon us. We were meeting you father and sister there and as we were admiring the beautiful headstone that had just arrived the other day we turned around and there coming up the hill was your Dad, Step-Mom, Sister, Aunt, Uncle, Cousin,your Best Friend & his Fiancee (also your good friend). It was so wonderful to see them. Your family is amazing. They are so strong and loving. They have opened their home and their hearts to Kristin. Even though we cannot see you, we know in our hearts your are always there with us, standing beside us. As your Aunt said we don't know why you had to go. We may not understand it right now, but someday we will see the "big picture". Until your family is again reunited with you, continue to guide them and give them strength. You are so deeply loved by your family and friends and so dearly missed. But it is amazing how even in your death, you brought together so many people. I feel like Kristin & I have known your father and family for a lifetime, though we have only known each other for a short time. You are so much like your Dad. Also we have met a wonderful woman named "Regina". She comes all the way from Baltimore to visit you even though she never had the pleasure to meet you. But even she knew what a wonderful person you were from following the stories and talking to people who knew you. I will continue to pray for your family so that they may find some comfort and peace this Holiday Season.

Eric, it's been almost a year since you left us and it still hasn't become any easier. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. I can't wait until we meet again. I know it may take several years but when we do, it will be fun I'm sure. Please continue to watch over us everyday that your friends and family aren't with you, and enjoy the football games from high above.

Eric,It's gonna be a year next month and It's still harder then ever knowing your gone.I think about you all the time, and my heart breaks, I cant seem to get myself to the cemetary, not because I can't but because it hurts to much , I haven't even been able to speak with your family,I hope they can forgive me for that, It hurts me so much that your not here i cant even imagine the pain that they feel,I pray for them everyday but i'm sure you know that.I hope that you can hear me, and I hope you know how much you mean to me, to everyone. I love you so much and i miss you terribly. My window is still open.... bff Tina

Eric, It's been exactly a year since this tradegy first took place. I never met you but I've thought about you often. I cant believe you've been gone for a year and I can only hope that your family and friends are dealing with this in the best way that they can. Even though I never met you, I remember being so upset when I heard that you didn't make it. I'll always remember you as a great police officer with a promising future. Keep smiling down on everyone!

Those who bloom in the hearts of others never fade away.... This is so true of you, Eric. You were a Hero to everyone who knew you and loved you. Continue to watch over your family and friends, and let them know you are ok. I know they miss you so.

Eric, yesterday was your birthday. It seems impossible that a year has gone by. There hasn't been a day that has gone by that Kristin hasn't shared a story with me about you. You were an incredible friend and a wonderful young man. I am honored to have been able to get to know your father and his family. They are truly amazing just like you. Continue to watch over them and guide them. We may not be able to see your face but you live on in so many people. You will always be remembered and love. What an accomplishment for such a young man.

Eric, I have been thinking about you alot lately, wondering if your ok, hoping and praying that your happy and at peace where ever you are, You know me, i was never the praying type, yet for the past year i feel like thats all i have been doing. I miss you very much, theres so much i want to tell you, it's kinda weird, I come to this website to tell you what's going on in my life and I babble on thinking i'm gonna get an email back from you, but i don't yet somehow it's comforting to assume that your reading this or atleast hearing what i'm thinking when i write it, but anyway, i'm getting married on the 25th of March, I think it's the right thing to do, I wish you were here to give your expert advice, and your opinions..lol..I always said If i got married and it wasnt to you( remember our bet) that i would want you to be my man of honor, and now that i'm getting married and your not here, i'm well i don't know what i'am I guess i'm just mad, I'm mad at what happened to you, I mad that i couldn't help you, I'm mad that god took you so soon, it'just is'nt fair.. I guess you were just to good of a person to be here, I'm sure what ever the reason you were taken from us is a good one, atleast it better be, or when it's my time to go i'm gonna have issues wit the man upstairs..lol.. i had a locket made with your picture ingraved on it, and inside is a rose pedal that you gave me on my 15th birthday, do you remember ? on the back it says, in loving memory, my man of honor.,, i wear it every day, and i will be wearing on my wedding day, Rob has a best man and groomsmen, and i have bridesmaids but no maid or man of honor, no one can take your place,I hope you will be at the wedding in spirit i know you'll be there in my heart, i miss you Eric and i love you so very much!My prays are with your family every night. My window is open! Tina

Eric, it's been 17 months today and I still can't believe that you're gone. I still miss you so much. You've inspired me to go back and finish school. I will never forgot the time we spent together in school. Please continue to watch over us everyday. I got married a while ago and I know it was you who kept that day sunny and bright for me to have my wedding outside. Thank you. I will never forget you Eric.

Christmas is almost here. It has been almost two years since you have left us. I think about you everyday. Although the pain still remains and there is an emptiness in my heart, I know that you watch over me each day.

The trial is starting pretty soon. May God grant our hearts the gift of peace-and remember the world was a better place while Eric strived to protect and love his fellowman- especially his NYPD,EMT,FYPD brothers. Cynthia, you raised him as an angel... what a girl!!

Never had the pleasure to personally meet this amazing gentleman while we still had him down here with us. But Eric, just know that in addition to the impact you made in so many lives and in addition to all the love and good memories you shared with your family and friends.. you have also touched the lives of so many of us that didn't meet you on time. You come to mind very often.. so I thought maybe I'd let you know. I will continue to pray for you, and for your family to find peace and comfort. You are truly loved by everyone that knows you, and also by those of us that just weren't so lucky. Keep watching over us and keep blessing us with your memories. Your whole NYPD Family misses you much. You are officially one of our Finest Angels, keeping us safe out there, and helping us make the right choices. After reading all the beautiful things your family and friends have to say about you, I can clearly understand why God and all the other Angels would want you to join them. You are definitely on my list of Angels to meet when I get up there..Until then.
