Eric Stevenson Obituary
formerly of Tewksbury, singer/songwriter; 43
HAVERHILL -- Eric J. Stevenson, 43, of Haverhill, died Tuesday, August 9, at his home surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born and raised in Tewksbury, he was the son of Thomas D. Stevenson and Donna M. (Barry). He attended Tewksbury Public Schools and was a Graduate of Tewksbury High School, Class of 1985.
Born a natural musician, his musical talents were extraordinary. Throughout his life his music grew with him. He started young; playing in local bands with his brother, Kevin, and would eventually tour with the band "Only Living Witness" throughout the United States and Europe. A gifted singer and songwriter, he would produce his own CD, entitled, "Dead Horse Town" in which he plays every instrument.
He was employed as a technician for Herley Industries Inc., in Woburn. For the past four years however, he enjoyed the most fulfilling job of his life; being a stay at home dad and taking care of his young son, Thomas.
He leaves his beloved wife, Cheryl A. (Anderson) and cherished son, Thomas James; his parents, Thomas D. Stevenson and his significant other, Kathy Goss, of Tewksbury; mother, Donna M. Stevenson and her significant other, Paul Richard, of Hudson, NH; brother, Kevin P. Stevenson, of Tewksbury; mother-in-law, Pauline Anderson, of Haverhill; brothers and sisters-in-law, William and Melissa Anderson, of Lawrence, and Donna and John Blanchard, of Littleton, NH; aunts and uncles, Nancy and Donald Johnston, Dianne and James Kelley, Patricia and Robert Petitpas; a niece, Laura Hartman; and several cousins, all of whom will miss him dearly along with his quick wit and great sense of humor.
