Eric Prinsen Obituary

Eric Prinsen, 33, passed away on August 8, 2023 into the presence of Jesus after a long battle with mental illness. Despite many ups and downs throughout his life, he held on to his faith to the end.

Eric preferred working with his hands. Modding his car, doing yard work, having bonfires, or taking the dog out were frequent pastimes. Watching movies helped him stay out of his mind. He loved his truck and put most of his spare money into his current vehicle as soon as he could. Driving was a safe space for him. It kept his mind calm and was also his favorite place to blast worship music on a custom sound system.

He is survived by his grandfather John Prinsen, father Mark, mother Margaret, and six siblings (Jason, Heidi, Steven, Ryan, Wesley, Holly), from whom he will be dearly missed.

Eric's life will be celebrated with a service at Refuge Church in Steven's Point, Wisconsin on August 19th from 10 AM to noon.
