Life Story
Eric Cortez Lucas was born on May 17, 1989, a bright and talented young man whose life was marked by creativity, compassion, and a deep love for music. Though his time on earth was brief, his presence left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Eric’s musical gifts were an integral part of who he was — a reflection of his expressive spirit and his connection to the rhythms of both life and faith. His passion for sound and song resonated in his relationships, his community, and in the joy he brought to others through his talents.
Tragically, Eric passed away on November 24, 2018, at the age of 29. His loss was felt deeply by his family, friends, and community, who remembered him for his vibrant personality, generous heart, and the music that seemed to flow naturally from his soul.
He was laid to rest at the Altare Missionary Baptist Church Graveyard in Newton County, Mississippi — a place rich with family heritage and history. His headstone bears the Thomas Carl Almore Lodge symbol, a sign of brotherhood and fraternity, alongside musical notes that beautifully capture the essence of his life’s passion.
Though his journey was short, Eric Cortez Lucas’s melody continues to echo in the hearts of those who loved him — a song of joy, faith, and remembrance that will never fade.
