He has always had an interest in the funeral industry and at the beginning of 2025 decided that while he enjoyed serving the people who came into the lumber store, he felt he wanted to serve families through the funeral home full-time.
Eric loves going on adventures with his 5 children and beautiful wife, whether that be going on razor rides, traveling, or working on a project. Their family also has fun working together making wooden toys for their family business E-S Farmtoys. Eric has recently received his insurance license in order to better serve you.
