Mr. Eric J. Estridge, 77, of Gray, passed away Thursday morning, July 10, 2025 at the Mountain View Health and Rehabilitation Center in Pineville. He was the son of the late Irvin Jay and Ruth May Donner Estridge born September 16, 1947 in Indiana.

Eric was the founder and co-camp director of Moments with the Master. Together with his wife, Faith, he devoted his life to serving the Lord by sharing the gospel through the camp ministry since its founding in 1998. He was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Barbourville, where he taught Sunday school, assisted with AWANA and for a time, the singles class. In his spare time, Eric could be found going hunting or horseback riding. He also enjoyed playing board games, especially Cribbage and was an avid UK basketball fan.

On November 14, 1996, he united in marriage with Faith Lois Wright.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Raldo Estridge and a special friend, Randy Rayburn.

Survivors include his loving wife of nearly 29 years, Faith Estridge of Gray; step-daughter, Shae; grandchildren, Jude, Jade and Shell; among other loved ones and dear friends.

A celebration of Eric’s life will be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Moments with the Master, 384 Helton Branch Road, Gray, KY 40734, to help continue Eric’s mission of sharing the gospel with our youth.
