Eric Hansson Obituary

Eric Paul Hansson

At home, morning of April 12, age 51. Devoted husband of 23 yrs to Velina; loving father of Kalina and Natalia; cherished son to Arlette and the late Hans Hansson; brother of Hans (Christine) Hansson, Aline (Jak) Wolfrom, and Claudette (John) Farrell; son-in- law to Lubomir and Maria Manoilov; brother-in-law to Dora (Regis) Fornier de Violet; also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
Born April 24, 1968 in SF; Eric attended St. Gabriel, St. Ignatius (honor student), and earned a B.S. at USF. Eric lived an accomplished and full life. He was remarkable- smart, loving, funny, adventurous, a family man, and a devout Christian. He was a successful salesman that spanned from insurance, office products, to becoming a Pharmaceutical Senior Sales Executive for women's care. He was recognized for his many sales achievements. Best known as the "cool uncle," Eric skydived, hang-glided, rode motorcycles, mastered Choy Lee Fut karate, archery, and much more. He loved nature especially his roses, bee keeping, and bird calling- especially to ravens. He became a devout Christian and did what he could to spread the truth (www.eph511truthproject.com). He fought cancer like a warrior and his love for Christ never wavered. He is deeply missed. Contributions to American Brain Tumor Association.

My deepest sympathies on the passing of dear Eric. May the God of all comfort strengthen the entire family during this time of sorrow. Always remember that God keeps in his memory those whom we lose because they are precious in his eyes. (Psalms 116:15)

Missing you my brave buddy , you were more than a coworker back in the day . You were my good friend , vibrant, spiritual, and active in every day . May the angels guide you to your well deserved rest , soar on eagles wings into the sunset . Until we all meet again , rest well in the Safe Arms of Jesus . Next rumble we hear will be you riding your Heavenly Motorcycle . All our love - Lena Sunseri- Sozzi
