Eric Nguyen

I just want to say that the world has lost a wonderful storm photographer. I always loved his photos. I hope his family and friends find comfort in knowing how highly he was respected. My prayers and thoughts are with them. He was so young, he was born the same year as my second son. It's tragic.
 
To my great regret, I never knew Eric personally but remember hearing of him & his awesome chases on more occasions than I can count. Along with so many here, I felt deeply saddened to hear of his passing. His excellent photography, academic skill and radiant personality has & will continue to be a great inspiration for anyone who truly understands what it means to live with passion. My condolences go to his family, close friends & colleagues.
 
some pics I have managed to scan so far:

Unhappy day.

I have never met Eric Nguyen but, as a frequent visitor to this forum, his intelligence and fine perception of meteorology plus his outstanding photography always impressed me and brought me back to learn more. He was someone that seemed to make the Stormtrack community pretty special.

That a young man of his obvious talent and intelligence should pass away thus is incomprehensible. One's thoughts can only be with his family and friends at such an unhappy time.
 
Wow, having never known Eric (until reading this thread at least) this still hits pretty hard. This is a terrible situation for all involved and it's something I pray daily no one has to go through. Prayers will and are being lifted up for everyone close with Eric. Remember him, cherish the memories and most of all honor him and his legacy. He was truly what being a storm chaser should be. :(
 
Wow... I just got to this thread today, and I am really shocked and sad. I really don't know what to say, questions are running through my mind. I never met him in person, but I believe he was in chat a few times. He seemed like such a great guy, I wish I could have met him before. His photos are incredible and they will always be cherished. My condolences go out to his family and friends. May there be lots of storms in heaven for him to chase.
 
Wow.
Words cannot say--and I never had the honour of meeting the man.
The chasing world is richer for having known him.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.
 
It has taken me long to reply, getting over what has befallen the earth. I always admired Eric Nguyen, as he was my inspiration to begin chasing four years ago, in fact. His photographs, reports, livelyhood and spirit were all I needed...and amazing. Great spirit for chasing it seemed and felt. I will miss his being, and pity that I was unable to ever meet him.
 
I have written a few notes on my own website, www.underthemeso.com, about this loss to our storm chasing community. On a blog post I wrote, I recollected the same storms we chased with a comparison of storm images... it's amazing how many of the same storms I chased as Eric, yet only had the opportunity to be at a road intersection or some sort of other chaser convergence that I had the opportunity to see and chat with Eric just once... and coincidentally enough, that was a bust! Anyway, I was indeed stunned like the rest of the community, and I offered my condolences to my friends Scott Blair, Scott Currens, and Amos on their loss.
 
Sad and tragic indeed. Condolences to his family and friends. I hope his sons will deal with this huge loss as well as they can. THEY are the ones that need to be in our prayers. I have read about the scholarhsip and such but what about his boys? There was mention that he had 2 sons. I don't know anything about them or the situation, but shouldn't a scholarship be established for them...for college one day??
 
What can I say?

I just learned about this terrible news, I did not have the chance to drop by Stormtrack for the last 2 or 3 weeks and now I see this terrible news. I'm very sad to hear about this. I did not know him at all, but is images are legendary!

May he rest in peace.
 
I'm very depressed to hear those news and my condolences go out to his family and friends. I will never forget his famous and outstanding photos and although I've never met him in the USA I read enough chasing reports and stories to see that we have lost a very good chaser / friend and meteorologist.
You will be missed by many chasers here in Europe!
Good bye Eric,


Helge
