Hello to EJ's classmate and friends. It's Erin, here. In case you didn't know, EJ tragically took his life on January 14, 2006. He left behind his wife and 2 young boys, who now live out of state. They had just moved to WI from CO in 2004. EJ worked as a Civil Engineer at a small firm. He has always lived on "the Edge". We, all of his family, are devastated by his sudden passing. Not a whole lot more that I can say. We miss him dearly and will always remember his ever-adventurous spirit and kind heart.Eric Zufelt
I was very saddened to receive the news of EJ's passing in early January 2006. I feel fortunate that I was able to share some laughs and catch up with him, Pete, and Chip W. at the Packers-Vikings game in November of 2005. It had been a while since I had seen EJ (and the other guys). Despite the gap in time, it was like little to no time had elapsed when we reconnected that night.EJ had a smile a mile wide, was a gifted athlete, and very intelligent and creative. Moreover, he was perhaps one of the most adventurous people I have ever met. He would try anything once...
EJ's place of rest is within 25 feet of my Father's so I think about him often, especially during my visits to that quiet spot.
EJ is greatly missed by familly and friends, and we will miss him on the reunion night as well.
