Eric Dickerson Dow
West Hartford, VT – Eric Dickerson Dow – With profound sadness, we
announce the death of Eric Dickerson Dow, 34. Eric was killed in a
motorcycle accident on September 19, 2025, while on the Quechee-West
Harford Road.
Eric was born April 25, 1991, in Hanover, NH, the son of William W.
Dow and Kathryn (Dickerson) Dow and the younger brother to Brian. He
graduated from Hartford High School in 2009. From an early age, Eric
was a talented skier who loved finding his way down a mountain. He
looked forward to fresh powder and “first tracks” at Killington and
Sunapee with his friends. He spent quite a bit of time in the board
parks with his brother perfecting his freestyle and landings. His
passion for skiing carried over to his enjoyment of riding dirt bikes
and motorcycles-enjoying the freedom and thrill that they offered him.
Eric had worked locally at Marshland Farm and Groundskeepers. He
worked for Miller Auto Group in Lebanon before joining Springfield
Auto Group, later transferring to South Burlington Mazda when he moved
to Burlington. He spent many years in Burlington and through both work
and life made what turned out to be a large group of life-long
friends. He also carried the pain of losing too many friends and some
family along the way. He had most recently worked with his father at
Wilder Construction.
Eric is survived by his parents and his brother, Brian, and Brian’s
son, Cameron Jay. He is survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and
loved ones. He is also survived by his special cats, Black Cat and
Hobbs. His grandparents had predeceased him.
All are welcome for a visitation at Knight Funeral Home from 5-7pm on
Friday, October 3, 2025. Condolences may be expressed in an online
guestbook at www.knightfuneralhomes.com
Our hearts are forever broken.
