Eric Robert Burnstein

Resident of Lafayette, CA
Eric Robert Burnstein, 23, of Lafayette, California, passed away on April 10, 2021 with his loving family by his side.
Eric was blessed with a wonderful and witty sense of humor that he loved to share with family and friends – always looking over to see that they were enjoying the laugh along with him. At a young age, he developed a very sophisticated palette, and he took joy in planning family meals at home, or when going out to dinner and on vacation.
Eric was more than your "average baseball fan." He immersed himself in the game – the statistics, the history, the players, managers, umpires, announcers, and the pure joy of the sport. He loved catching "towering" fly balls whenever he would go with his dad and friends to get in some batting and fielding practice at a local ballpark. He especially loved the San Francisco Giants and could often be found watching them on TV, at a game with his glove ready to go, or traveling to Scottsdale for Spring Training.
He had a kind heart and a keen sense of perception about the world around him and was particularly empathetic towards others who he could sense were struggling. He had recently completed his studies for his degree in web design and was working as a product specialist for a virtual reality company focusing on providing products and resources to assist those living with chronic illness, mental health ailments and invisible disabilities.
He loved and was loved dearly by his family and friends, enjoying many trips and travels with them including to Disneyland, Hawaii, Alaska, Palm Springs, Lake Tahoe, Arizona, Washington D.C., and more.
His loss has left an enormous hole in the hearts of all those that knew and loved him.
He is survived by his parents Michelle and Marc Burnstein, his sister Danielle Burnstein, his Aunt Shelley Hamilton (Dave), and his cousins, Erica Moore (Neville), Robert Peck (Kelly), Alisa Peck, Rosalyn Cox (Joe). He was preceded in death by his grandparents Esther and Walter Rosen and Tobe and Robert Burnstein, and his Aunt Vicki Moore (Allan).
In Eric's honor, the family asks that charitable contributions be made to "Eric Burnstein Foundation Fund". Donations can be made online at the following link:
