Eric’s life was tragically cut short in an accident, leaving family, friends, colleagues, and the entire Summertown community stunned and grieving.
Eric was more than just a respected businessman — he was a servant leader, a mentor, and a true friend. His passion, integrity, and dedication were evident in every aspect of his life, from his work to his personal relationships. He was the kind of person who led by example, showing others that success was not measured solely by accomplishments, but by the lives one touched and the values one upheld.
He dedicated much of his professional life to his role at Old South Wood Preserving, LLC, where his vision and leadership helped shape not only the company’s growth but also its culture of hard work, trust, and teamwork. As a business owner, Eric approached challenges with determination and creativity, always seeking ways to serve both his clients and his community. His work ethic and unwavering standards of excellence earned him deep respect from his peers, partners, and employees.
Eric made his home in Summertown, Tennessee, where his roots ran deep. He carried himself with humility, even in the face of great achievements, and he never hesitated to lend a hand to those in need. Whether he was offering guidance to a colleague, supporting a local cause, or simply sharing a laugh with a friend, Eric had a way of making people feel valued and seen.
His loss leaves a tremendous void — not just in the workplace, but in the hearts of those who knew him best. Friends remember him for his warm smile, his thoughtful words, and the way he made everyone feel like family. To his loved ones, he was a source of strength, a provider, and a man whose unwavering love was a constant anchor.
As we mourn Eric’s passing, we also celebrate the life he lived so well. His legacy will live on in the countless lives he influenced, in the lessons he taught through both word and action, and in the community he helped build through generosity and care.
In this time of grief, our thoughts and prayers are with Eric’s family, friends, and colleagues. May they find comfort in knowing that his life — though far too short — was filled with meaning, purpose, and love. May his memory continue to inspire us to lead with the same passion, integrity, and kindness that defined him.
Rest peacefully, Eric Stoll. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
