Eric Tabeling peacefully passed away 19 years after suffering a major stroke. He lived a full life with great humor and grace. He was a favorite teacher, radio DJ at KTKT (Tucson) and KAZM (Sedona), as well as an Army Veteran. But most importantly Eric was a deeply devoted husband, father, gramps and great gramps. He will be deeply missed.

He is survived by daughter, Dagny (Kurt), son Ian (Jenna), grandchildren Bree (Matt), Alec (Lucas), Gunner and Zane, Great grandsons Ethan, Landon and Oliver, Brothers Kim and Brian and sisters Anita, Kristen and Alaina.
A very special thank you to Tony who helped care for Eric in his final 5 years. You are a true blessing.
Eric was an avid reader, Golfer and music enthusiast. His last wishes are for you to read your favorite book, play your favorite album or play a round of golf in his honor. There will be no services.
