Eric Kinsinger Obituary
God's Loan
UTICA/SAN DIEGO, CA - Eric Kinsinger, 58, passed away at his home on April 9, 2016, surrounded by his loving family, after a long and courageous battle with multiple myeloma cancer.
He was born May 14, 1957, son of Joan Basiliere Kinsinger and the late Andrew Kinsinger. Following his UFA graduation in 1975, he enlisted and continued his education in the U.S. Navy. He was the youngest instructor in SDI for NATO in Italy. He retired as a Chief Petty Officer and Electrical Engineer and later worked as a Satellite Communication Specialist.
In 2001, he married Wendy Standard, his wife of 15 years.
Eric loved music and was an accomplished musician and guitarist. Like his dad, he could fix or build almost anything. A loving son, husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, he will be forever missed.
He is survived by his mother; his wife; daughters, Hanna, Corrina and Layla Kinsinger; grandson, Kane Kinsinger; sisters, Jeanine (John) Higgins and Andrea (Rich) Kennedy; brother, Steve (Angie) Edwards; many dear nieces, nephews, cousins and in-laws; former wife, Aurora Bautista; also special friends, Ray Boullion, Frank Mrowka, Ron Fusco and his church music group.
He was predeceased by his father, Andrew; brother, Mark Edwards; and nephew, Reid Villiere.
A Memorial Mass will be held at a later date.

A long time friend more like a brother. We learned a lot from each other and could talk about what ever bothered us. I learned more from him during his battle than I can ever repay. For that I am truly thankful. Miss him everyday. I remember the good time and there were many.
Love you Bro!
