Eric Nelson Speicher, age 56, of Livingston, passed away in the early morning on Wednesday, December 11, 2013 at his home. Per Eric's request a formal funeral will not be held. Cremation has taken place at Franzen-Davis Crematory.

Eric was born on June 25, 1957, in Reno, Nevada. He was the son of Coralee Kraw and James Hardy. Eric was later adopted by his step-father Joseph Speicher. He received his education in Fort Wayne, Indiana where he played basketball and ran track in high school.
