Jeric S. Sona, 37, of Aztec, passed away from this life on Tuesday, July 30, 2013, in Aztec. He was born Sept. 3, 1975, in Farmington, to Jack and Francine Sona.
Jeric was known as the big, loving teddy bear to most. He had a huge heart of gold and could read people like a book. He was an amazing friend to many people. He loved anything that went FAST! He had a love for fast cars especially mustangs and loved racing his Artic Cat off road vehicle. He especially loved hearing people scream, that he would put in the passenger seat for the ride of their life. He also had a love for the game of football. He played in high school for Aztec and went on to play college ball at Ft. Lewis College. He had the privilege to play in the North and South game. Also traveled to Australia to play in the All Stars game. He absolutely loved spending time with his dad, whether they just went to eat breakfast or to figure out how to make Jeric's vehicle faster.
Jeric's son and daughter were the light of his life. He grew up in Aztec and lived most of his life there with his loving wife for the last 17 years.
Our loving son, nephew, husband, uncle, father and friend will be missed by many. We love him and know he has found peace.
Jeric was preceded in death by his mother-in-law, Frances Halvorson; uncle, Joel Sona and grandparents, Curby and Flora Lawrence and Jack and Ruth Sona.
He is survived by his wife, DeAnza Sona; son, Bryce Sona; daughter, Brooke Sona; parents, Jack and Francine Sona; father-in-law, Dale Halvorson; brothers, Jack and Jaime Sona; brother-in-law, Louis Salazar; sister-in-law, Sindi Salazar; three nieces, Alyssa and Taylor Sona, Ahjanáe Salazar; two nephews, Andric and Adonis Salazar. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and loving friends.

Deanza, my deepest condolences on the loss of a wonderful person. I know that we don't talk much in person, but I always admired your whole family. Your parents were a wonderful/amazing couple, and you followed right in their footsteps. You are strong beyond words, and I pray every day that God will provide you comfort and strength. I know your babies don't know me, but hold them close, protect them and give them a huge hug from me. You don't have to tell them...just give them some of my love. Let me know if you need anything.

Sona Family... Deepest sympathy and loving thoughts sent your way. It is nearly impossible to put into words a description that is deserving of Jeric. One in a million, a heart of gold, a friend like no other. A man that gave me will to live in a horrible time in my life. A man that never failed to make others smile and truly feel happiness. Never can that void be filled in the hearts of the people that he touched. May the smiles, laughter and love he gave be enough to keep his family, loved ones and friends smiling, and remembering all the great times.

My love and prayers are with the Sona family. Jeric was in my fourth grade class, and what a treat he was. I ran into him several years ago and was so happy that he still remembered me. I will NEVER forget him!

We can't imagine the pain you are experiencing. May the many happy memories help comfort you. We have been thinking of those 6 little boys running thru the house making lots of happy noise both at our and your house. Then came the sports, knowing the season by the ball being used. Love and prayers for all of you. Steve and Beth Rabourn

DeAnza, Mr. and Mrs. Sona, Jack and the rest of the family...Please accept my heart felt condolences. I remember the first time I met Jeric. At an instant we were chatting it up, like we had been running together for years. Right away he made me feel like I was part of your family...introducing me to everybody, taking me by the drug store, scaring the crap out of me in the mustang he had at the time(I can still hear him laughing and see him smiling when he did it)=). In fact a week after we started hanging out, he even took me to get my head shaved for the first time.
Jeric always made me feel welcomed, comfortable and safe when I was with him. In years to come distance and different adventures physically separated us... but memories of Jeric would and will always make me smile. I still use allot of his sayings to this day=) God bless Jeric and all of you. Jeric and all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
