Eric A. Priem

Eric Allen Priem 46, of Portland Oregon, passed from this life, into his eternal rest with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, on April 27th, 2025.
He was born to his loving parents, Terry and Barbie Priem, in Duluth Minnesota on March 26th, 1979.
Being the first of 4 children, Eric would carry through as the first in many areas of his life. He was the first to leave home and make his way in this world. He was the first to offer help or share what little he had with anyone he encountered. He was the first to smile and say hello, even to complete strangers.
Eric would strike up a conversation and leave you feeling like you had just made a new friend! One you knew you would never meet again but would think of it often with a smile. He just had that special gift that we all admire, but few possess.
As we lay Eric to rest, we are comforted to know he had accepted Christ as his personal Savior and is now in Heaven. We are confident that we will be reunited for Eternity!
Eric is survived by his children, Connor Priem, Chase Priem, Keirra Johnson, and Mckenzie Johnson; his grandson Brinsten Priem; his loving parents Terry and Barbie Priem; brothers Chad (Amber) Priem, Nathan (Chyloe Laguna) Priem, and Daniel Priem; his maternal grandparents Raymond and Elizabeth (Betty) Drolett; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Edwin Sr. and Margaret (Margie) Priem.
