Eric Lahoda Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jan. 14 to Jan. 17, 2008.
LAHODA _ Eric George May 11, 1985 - January 13, 2008 Eric George Lahoda, beloved son of David and Andree, and eldest brother of Steven, Bobby, Mark and John Lahoda, passed away suddenly at the age of 22 years. He is survived by his grandparents George and Rosemary Lahoda, Virginia Lemieux, and a large extended family. He was predeceased by his grandfather, Raymond Lemieux and cousins Matthew Coldiron and Frances Frost. Eric was raised in Spirit River, Alberta and moved to Calgary to attend University where he studied Political Science. Moving to Calgary placed Eric closer to the mountains and the Columbia River Valley that he loved and where he continued to be an avid skier and mountain biker. He loved people as much as he loved sports. His gift to life was a compassionate nature and an eye to bringing out the best in others. His warm smile and quick wit will be missed by all who knew him. Relatives and friends are invited to Prayers and Tributes at Corpus Christi Catholic Church (404 Northmount Place N.W.) today, January 17, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. Funeral Service will be held at Corpus Christi Catholic Church (404 Northmount Place N.W.) on Friday, January 18, 2008 at 1:00 p.m. Condolences may be forwarded to the family through www.commemorativeservices.ca .

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Lahoda family, David, Andrea and Eric's brothers Steven, Bobby, Mark & John. May GOD wrap his arms around each of you in this very sad and tragic time and comfort you. I have many fond memories of Eric. When Eric was little I was his Beaver leader I enjoyed the time spent with Eric. Eric was enthusiastic about everything and so full of life, a true joy to be around.
Eric quite often referred to himself as "Eric the Red", which always gave us a laugh.
You are in my heart and my prayers.

Dr. Lahoda, Mrs. Lahoda and family

When I was in Spirit River this past weekend I was saddend to hear about Eric. I told Mr. Landsman one of my favorite memories of Eric. When he came home from speech and showed me how he could say frog now. I then thought of the time Steven pushed him off the bed and he ended up with a huge goose egg. He was an amazing child who Ill have fond memories of.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
