From his obituary: "Eric Wright was born on September 7, 1964, in Compton California, to the proud parents, Richard and Katie Wright. He received his education in the Compton Unified School District. Deciding on a career in Music, he became a well-known Rap Artist, 'Eazy-E,' and built his own recording company; Ruthless/Comptown. Eric was a gentle, kind and warm-hearted person who was always willing to help others. On Sunday, March 26, 1995, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Eric Wright was called home to his final resting place. His charming smile and wonderful personality will always be remembered.
