Publish in a newspaper
Eric was born July 12, 1970 in Coon Rapids to Wolin & Leona (Harstad) Carlson. He worked in customer service for Showdown Displays in Brooklyn Center. Eric had a quick wit, a little gentle sarcasm, some fake grumpiness with a twinkle in his eye. Eric took pride in his leather work, making small wallets and cardholders and became comfortable with bags, belts, and backpacks. He started a small guitar collection and played on and off most of his adult life. Eric was a particularly fond of his grand nephews and grand nieces.
He is survived by his mother Leona of Sauk Rapids; brothers, Jay Carlson of Sauk Rapids; Dale Carlson of Coon Rapids; Lee Carlson of Las Vegas, NV; nephews, George Carlson and Tim Carlson as well as many great nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his father.
