Eric Hefling Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Harold W. Vick Funeral Home, Inc. - Mount Clemens on Oct. 13, 2025.
Eric Joseph Hefling, a resident of Mt. Clemens, Michigan, passed away on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at the age of 52.

Born to David and Theresa Dubay Hefling, Eric grew up alongside his beloved sister, Melissa Hefling. He was a skilled welding contractor whose craftsmanship extended far beyond the job site-he could build just about anything. Whether tending to his vegetable garden, bowling with friends, or cheering from the sidelines at his sons' sporting events, Eric brought dedication and warmth to everything he did.

An introspective soul, Eric found peace in nature. He cherished long walks on the beach, outdoor adventures, and the treasured memories made camping at "Eddie's on the Lake." His faith was a guiding force in his life, and he devoted meaningful time to prayer and spiritual reflection.

Eric is survived by his sons, Joseph Hefling and Joshua Hefling; his parents, David and Theresa Hefling; and his sister, Melissa Hefling. He is also remembered by his former wife, Angelica Hefling.

Cremation services have been entrusted to Harold W. Vick Funeral Home, 140 South Main Street, Mount Clemens, Michigan.
