Eric Nelson Obituary
Eric was a caring husband, father, brother, and friend. He left this world suddenly on February 3, 2023 at age 62 and will be greatly missed.
Eric was born to Norman and Priscilla Nelson in Seattle, Washington on March 29, 1960. He spent his young adult life in Morris Plains, NJ then relocated to Tucson, AZ with his family to be with his mother and father. He is preceded in death by his mother Priscilla and leaves behind his father Norman, sister Elizabeth Hebert (Matt), wife Charlotte Nelson of 36 years, his two children Richard (Jen) of Oaklyn, NJ, daughter Amanda of Tucson, AZ, and pets Baylee and Chloe.
Eric had a great sense of humor (which would make you laugh or cringe!), loved spending time listening to classic rock, watching the Kansas City Chiefs play football, keeping up with the political news of the day, and sharing his vast knowledge of American History and the US Constitution. Eric also had a love for firearms and keeping those around him safe.
Eric will be put to rest through cremation and his remains will be kept with his wife, children, sister, and father.

Tomorrow marks two years since you passed away. I'm sure you and dad are enjoying one another up there in heaven. I'll bet you are both thrilled that Trump is back in office & the KC Chiefs are in their 3rd consecutive Superbowl. We all miss you down here in the earthly realm, but we trust that we will see you again. Much Love - Your Sister - Liz
