Eric Brunson Obituary
Our beloved Eric D. Brunson went back to the arms of his loving Father in Heaven Monday, Jan. 19, 2009. He had a sweet smile and loving personality and will remain with us always.
Eric was born Sept. 13, 1976, in Ogden, Utah, the son of Dilworth Lynn and Gwen Watkins Brunson.
On July 28, 2000. he married his childhood sweetheart Lacie Marie Lund (ENLF). She was the love of his life. They both shared a love of music. They met when he was in the band and she was in the color guard. They were blessed with three beautiful children whom he loved dearly. Daddy was their best friend and his children call him Daddy-O.
Eric was a happy, easygoing, giving individual. He loved everyone he met, and they each held a special place in his heart. He always had a smile on his face and wanted to please everyone.
Eric was employed at Utility Trailer and McGrath’s Fish House. He was going to school to become a pharmacist.
He was a member of the LDS Church and served a mission in Argentina. Eric was an Eagle Scout.
Eric enjoyed nothing more than playing with his snakes, playing his trumpet, fishing, reading, spending time with his family, playing games and gardening with his wife and children.

Lacie I'm Larry Micklevitz "Boa Amarali" on Redtailboas.com forum. I'm truly sorry for your loss and your childrens loss.
Eric (Bowie) was such a great guy ! I was looking forward to his producing Boas from his DH Sharp Boa paired with his Het Sharp Boa. I lost my '04 pair of DH Sharp & het last summer and they looked exactly like Erics pair. So we had this in common and I hoped to see what Eric produced with his beautiful Boas !
Please know How deeply all of his friends feel the loss of Eric,I know I do . I only wish I could have known Eric even better.
My prayers are with you Lacie and the Children as well as the rest of Eric's and your family.
Larry Micklevitz IL.
