Oakham, Massachusetts – Eric Jenkins, a dedicated father and loving husband, tragically passed away on October 31, 2024, leaving his family and community in mourning.
Eric, who was married to his wife Janelica, was known for his devotion to his family, especially his young daughter, Aurora. A proud and hardworking man, Eric always put his loved ones first, serving as the cornerstone of both his immediate and extended family.
His sudden passing has left a significant emotional and financial void, as a recent job change meant that Eric did not have meaningful life insurance at the time of his death. Friends and family, deeply affected by his loss, have rallied to support his wife and daughter through a fundraising campaign aimed at easing the financial burdens associated with such a sudden tragedy.
Davis Barnes, a close family friend, is organizing the fundraiser to support Aurora’s future, with all donations going directly to Janelica Jenkins. As of now, over $1,200 has been raised through the efforts of supporters including Theresa Yousey and Brian Wilhite.
Eric’s passing has left a lasting impact on those who knew him, and his memory will live on through his family and the generosity of the community.
