"He lived life to the fullest," she said. "He was your average college student. Just an awesome guy."

She told the publication that Bolling Jr. would always talk about his father being on FOX News and that he was proud of his dad.

She continued, "That's not the Eric we know. Yes, he cared about his dad, but he was a strong man. He'd faced adversity before and he always came back stronger than ever before."

Bolling Jr.'s friend described him as "super energetic," "super enthusiastic," and "giving." According to her, he would always do what he can to brighten up someone's day.

The unnamed friend along with several other classmates who refused to be interviewed are disappointed with netizens who continue to mock the family on social media. She said that they even write on Bolling Jr.'s Facebook page, leaving scornful comments about his family.

Bolling Jr. was in his second year of college. He was majoring in Economics at the University of Colorado Boulder.

He was found dead on Friday, Sept. 8. in Colorado. He was laid out in his bed which authorities described as the "normal position." His covers were over his head.

At the scene, cops did not find any pills, bottles, or drugs to indicate the cause of his death.

Bolling Sr. found out the news of his son's death two hours after he completed his exit deal with FOX.
