Eric Hayertz Obituary

Concrete - Eric Hayertz passed away on Thursday, December 14th, 2023 in the loving company of his partner, Andrea Fleming. Even if Eric just passed through your life briefly, you likely know how he would've responded to an obituary being written for him. So, I'll do my best to "keep it simple" (you know the word that followed that phrase).

Those who looked past his intimidating stature fell into a maze filled with a multitude of contradictions and knowledge all that shielded a simple and big heart. Should you find yourself wanting to honor his memory, pick from the list below:

*Teach your kid a practical skill

*When someone is being a pompous jerk, say kindly, "f*** you very much"

*Donate to an unbiased news organization

*Teach yourself a new skill, such as gardening

*Read a darn book

His memory will forever be kept by his friends and family he left behind; his mother, Jan Hayertz, his three brothers, and his offspring. Remember him, and dope-slap a dumb*** today.

Arrangements are under the care of Kern Funeral Home: www.kernfuneralhome.com.
