roofing, garage door installation and most recently for FT Services where he
was a warehouse foreman, training for his journeyman’s certificate. He had a
strong work ethic and gave himself completely to anything he did.
Eric enjoyed adventure, doing such things as skydiving, bungee jumping and
most recently quadding. He liked athletics, playing basketball in high
school and men’s leagues in Regina and Minot. He also participated in both
volleyball and golf. He enjoyed traveling to warm destinations including
Cuba and the Dominican Republic.
Eric loved people and he was always willing to lend a helping hand. He will
be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Eric’s name may be made to the
charity of one’s personal choice.
