Eric Danner - December 9, 1958 - February, 16, 2021
Our son, brother, nephew, cousin and friend Eric lost his long battle with ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) today. He fought this disease with courage and determination leaving behind memories of his wonderful laugh, kind heart and ever present love of family gatherings. Although we would rather have Eric here in our lives, God has welcomed him home to join his father Richard, grandparents Edna and Ole Walsvik and Syda and Norman Danner along with his cousins, aunts and uncles who have preceded him into the arms of God. We have created this site to celebrate Eric's life through photos (see the gallery) and words and will be posting an announcement for his memorial service. Please feel free to post a favorite photo or memory (well wishes) of Eric as a place to remember him. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for your kind thoughts and for visiting.
