Eric was also a member of Hope Bible Fellowship Church in Noblesville. He had a gift for singing and was a soloist in the Behold the Lamb Passion Play.
He is survived by his wife, Aubrey of Elwood; parents, Steve and Sharon Linerode of Tipton; his four beloved children, Logan David Linerode, Lukas James Linerode, Ava Joy Linerode, and Lawson Bradley Linerode all at home; siblings, Christy Baldwin and husband Matt of Delaware, Ohio, Brad Linerode and wife Sara of Ellettsville, Indiana.
