In Loving Memory of Eric Leffler

March 9, 1987 – August 4, 2005
Born in West Palm Beach, Florida • Passed in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

Eric Leffler was a beloved son, brother, and friend whose presence brought light, laughter, and love to those around him. He attended Wilson High School in West Lawn, Pennsylvania, and enjoyed spending time with friends, skateboarding, and playing guitar as a hobby.

On August 4, 2005, at just 18 years old, Eric passed away at home from an accidental overdose. He was a young man with a kind heart and endless potential. His loss became a turning point, sparking a mission to ensure that no one else has to walk the path of recovery, pain, or struggle alone.

Through Guiding Light 4 Wellness, Eric’s life continues to inspire change, compassion, and connection. His story reminds us that every life matters, every voice deserves to be heard, and every person deserves a chance to heal.

Though he left this world too soon, Eric’s light lives on — in every act of service, in every moment of hope, and in every hand extended to someone searching for their way forward.

Forever loved. Forever missed. And because of you, no one will ever have to walk alone.

The Meaning Behind Our Logo

The Guiding Light 4 Wellness logo carries deep personal meaning.
It’s more than an image — it’s a reflection of love, loss, resilience, and the belief that healing light can rise from even the darkest moments.

At the center of the logo is a heart, symbolizing unconditional love, courage, and the strength of those whose stories remind us how precious life truly is. It represents the enduring love of women, sisters, daughters, mothers, families and children, and the hope that continues to shine through those who left this world too soon.

The flame above the lighthouse honors Eric, whose light continues to guide this mission. It’s a reminder that even in loss, there can be purpose — that the smallest spark of love can illuminate the path for others who are still finding their way.

Together, the heart and flame stand as a promise:
That every act of compassion, every connection made, and every life touched through Guiding Light 4 Wellness carries forward the love and light of those who came before us.

Their stories live on — not in sorrow, but in the hope we share, the healing we offer, and the community we continue to build.

Their light and heart guides ours.
