Eric Jespersen Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 3, 2006.
JESPERSEN, Eric Bruce It is with tremendous sadness that the family of Eric Bruce Jespersen announces that he lost his battle with cancer on October 30, 2006. Eric was born on March 17, 1943 in Edmonton, Alberta and lived a life of giving and sharing. He is survived by his mother, Margaret Jespersen, his son Bradley (Eileen) and his precious grandchildren, Kiera and Dylan. Eric will also be missed every day by his sisters, Michelle (Richard) and Heather (Keith) and his brother Howard (daughter Kararose), as well as his nephews Greg and Ken (Christy and grand-nephew, Kai). He was predeceased by his father, Dr. Reuben Jespersen in 2001. Eric will be fondly remembered for his sense of adventure and his big heart, which he shared with many organizations such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Edmonton Social Services, Habitat for Humanity and the Red Cross. A Memorial Service will be held at Robertson-Wesley United Church 10209 - 123 Street, on Sunday November 5, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. Friends who so wish may make memorial donations directly to the Charity of one's choice. Foster & McGarvey Ltd., 10011 - 114 Street, (780) 428-6666, to send condolences: www.fostermcgarvey.com

We had a good visit with Eric in September and were very glad to be able to visit him at that time. Joshua and Holly met him for the first time and enjoyed talking with him. He showed great interest in our lives and activities and said God Bless You when we left to go back home to Kelowna, BC. We will miss him and look forward to our next time together in heaven. He will be missed greatly. We appreciated his truly unique and wonderful personality. Love from Holly (16)and Joshua (11) Smith. Daughter and son of Kathy (Ferguson) Smith of Kelowna, BC.

We were deeply saddened when we returned from holidays earlier this year and learned Eric's cancer had spread. Now we are deeply saddened that he has passed. On a brighter note, he is now pain free, and once again enjoying time with his beloved Dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

So sorry to read of Eric's passing. We had a good chat with him at the big family gathering in August. His giving spirit should be an inspiration to us all.
