A Time to be Born, On June 6, 1967 at Hurley Medical Center, Flint, Michigan, God sent Eric and his twin sister as a gift to his parents, Ella Melton Moore and Willie B. Moore, Jr. The parents loved the gifts they had been given and spent many hours caring for them. A Time to Plant, Eric had been brought up learning about God, Jesus and the Church. Eric accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and united with New Jerusalem Full Gospel Baptist Church. He started his education at Cedar Street Nursery School. He then moved on to Brownell Elementary School and from there he went to Holmes Middle School. He graduated from Flint Northern High School in 1985. Thereafter, he attended Mott Community College for one year. A Time to Gather Stones, In third grade at Brownell Elementary School, Eric learned to play the clarinet and played it until he learned to play the tenor saxophone, which he played in Flint Northern High School’s Marching Band. Eric worked as a security guard at General Motors Plants as a temporary employee until he was permanently hired at Chrysler as a security guard. He was interested in moving up so he worked and moved through the ranks until he became Vice-President of the union. By the time he was 28 years old, he was President of the union for security guards in the Oakland County area. He had an office and supported his union members in negotiations and other membership matters. He later worked for Volkswagen. A Time to Love and Laugh, Eric dated and eventually met, loved and married Alicia Pruitt. They were the same age and graduated from Flint schools the same year, although they attended different schools. They had no children together but he supported Alicia in rearing her children. He lost Alicia to cancer and never got over her passing. A Time to Sleep, Eric later experienced several illnesses and spent some time in hospitals and nursing homes. But over his lifetime, he was always very close to his twin sister. He also had several buddies since his school days. But on April 8, 2024, God, in His infinite wisdom, called Eric from his earthly home to His eternal home. Eric will be truly missed by his family, friends and all those whom he touched. A Time to Weep, The legacy of Eric’s season is left to many who loved him: his mother, Ella Moore; twin sister, Sherrill Moore; grandmother, Versie Melton; aunt, Juanita (James) Cunningham; uncle, Walter Melton; aunt, Geneva Prescott; mother-in-law, Vitula Pruitt; sister-in-law, Reva Curry; brother-in-law, Artis Pruitt; great aunt, Mary (Samuel) Jackson; great aunt, Doris Carr; step children, Brielle Bryson, Derrick Bryson and Darryl Bryson; and a host of cousins and friends.
