It is with great sadness that I am writing this email. Early this morning, Freedom Guide Dogs’ executive director, Eric Loori suddenly passed away. Below is the heartfelt email which Ashleigh Pace

It is with profound sadness and heartbreak that we share the passing of our founder, Eric Loori, early this morning.
This sudden and tragic loss is deeply felt throughout our entire Freedom family and beyond. Eric was more than the founder of Freedom Guide Dogs. He was the heart behind the mission, a visionary leader, a mentor, a friend, and an inspiration to so many whose lives he touched.
Our hearts, prayers, and thoughts are with Sharon, his beloved wife; their daughters, Holly and Anna; their son, Emmett, and Emmett’s wife, Sammie; along with the rest of their family and everyone who knew and loved Eric.
Eric dedicated his life to changing the lives of others with compassion, kindness, and unwavering purpose. His impact on the blind and visually impaired community, on our organization, and on each of us personally cannot be measured. He truly was the best.
As we grieve together, we also honor the incredible legacy he leaves behind, one that will continue through every life changed by Freedom Guide Dogs.
We ask that you keep the Loori family in your prayers during this unimaginably difficult time.
With love and sorrow,
All of us at Freedom Guide Dogs
