Eric Nance Obituary
Our family is saddened to announce the unexpected death of Eric Nance, a longtime resident of Santa Rosa who was born on November 27, 1972. Eric is survived by his brother and sister, Kurt and Lisa, and his mother and father, Sylvia and Clyde. Eric's lifelong ambition to become a helicopter pilot was realized, and his piloting skills will be greatly missed. Eric was a gregarious person with many friends, but he was also a very private person, and in this manner has requested that no public service be conducted at the time of his passing. That request is being respected by his friends and family. Eric's warm, adventurous, and humorous personality will long be treasured in the memories of many friends and family.

Oh this breaks my heart. When my husband died I met a nurse who said she was dating cousin Eric. In the whirlwind of his death we didn´t stay in touch. I was looking for a phone number and came across this. I´m so so sorry. The last time I saw him was Grams funeral. So sorry uncle Clyde and aunt Peggy and aunt Sylvia, Kurt and Lisa.

Clyde-
You often spoke so fondly of Eric more than 25 years ago...you were so proud of him as he was in his Air Force training...(the Christmas chisels story)
Clyde, you and Peggy were kind and generous to me many years ago and I´m so sorry someone as giving as yourself...and the entire family must endure this tragedy...
It´s been many years, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
