Drowning cause of death in quarry dive
Walton Tribune - Monroe,GA,USA
By Sharon Swanepoel WALTON COUNTY — Officials
determined drowning was the cause of death of the man
who dove off of a quarry cliff last week. ........
...The pastor said Hill’s father, Mark Hill, was the young man’s hero
and it was a respect that was returned.
“The respect and love shown to his father was witnessed by many
and Eric was the kind of young man that every father dreamed
about for two reasons,” Lawrence said. “One, to be the kind of
son that Eric exemplified is found few and far between and two,
Eric’s the kind of young man that any father would want to
marry his daughter.
“Eric was humble, honest, hardworking and most of all dedicated
to the Lord. He has made a great impact and has had an incredible
influence in Loganville. He has given all of us a model to live by.
What a shame it would be if we let the memory of Eric slip out
and not be challenged to take our lives, goals and relationships
and walk with the Lord to a higher level.”
Lawrence said the family wanted to make sure that everyone
was formally thanked for the huge recovery effort put forth —
in particular the homeowners of Anslee Lake subdivision who
brought down coolers and snacks and offered chairs and most
of all prayers, the entire Walton County emergency team and
other county workers who assisted in the recovery effort, the
Red Cross, Victory Baptist Church and other churches that had
representatives to assist and minister.
According to Walton County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy
Bruce Wright, “It doesn’t appear there were any drugs or alcohol
involved — they were just kids being kids trying to beat the heat.”
