Raised by his father, Ereck Flowers has become Giant of man

When his son was just 6 years old, Everald Flowers’ mission became clear under the saddest of circumstances.

He had a plan for his life back then, one that include marrying his love, Tanya Stokes, and raising their child together.

It wasn’t to be.

Tanya was diagnosed with cancer and died a few months later.

Suddenly Everald was a single father, not even 30 years old, and left with a sad, angry and confused little boy. He struggled to comfort his son, he stuggled to explain what happened.

Everald knew he and Ereck Flowers would somehow have to find a way to move on.
