Eric Nicholas VanDuffelen age 26 of Pequannock died suddenly and unexpectedly at his home on Friday, January 23, 2009.

This is a very brief story of one of life's unexplainable tragedies. Eric, you were gone before we knew it and we did not even have time to say goodbye. We hold your memories in our heart whispering prayers of thankfulness to God for such a wonderful person that he placed in our lives. Tears are running down our faces Eric but we know in our hearts you are ok. Eric we love you, we'll miss you and we'll remember you always.

Eric was born in Passaic and had lived in Clifton, at age three the family moved to Pequannock where he lived all of his life.

Eric received his formal education at Pequannock High School graduating with the Class of 2000 and then he studied at Farleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, changing to Rutgers University in New Brunswick where he received a Bachelor of Science Degree in History and Communications with the Class of 2006. At Rutgers he was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.

In his leisure time he especially enjoyed movies and music.
