Eric’s Life Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Jacksonville. Nationally recognized storytelling poet, Odd?Rod’s story began when he lost his brother Eric Harvey to brain cancer in 1996. 16 year old Eric’s passing left 13 year old Rod as the man of the house and he decided to press on and live a positive life. He made it to college and graduated on a full scholarship provided by philanthropist Delores Kesler. Her giving inspired Rod to give back as well.

Already skilled with the ability to gather people, Rod decided to use that gift to gather and give. Eric’s Life has been holding events for years now and donating portions of the proceeds to random charities across Jacksonville. The idea is to bring awareness to other nonprofits and the notion of giving freely. There is no greater honor than giving. Eric’s Life Inc. is all about celebrating the lives we’ve lost and paying forward the blessings that we’ve received.
