36 years young passed away at Regions Hospital November 3, 2017. Eric was a fighter since day one. He couldn't wait to get into this world and touched countless people throughout his short time here. Music was life to Eric and in the words of Bob Seger, it was time for Eric to "Turn the Page." Eric will be missed for all he was; a Son to Michael and Catherine Steffen (Edwall), the Best Big Brother to Sara Rossow (William), an awesome Uncle to Luke, a Grandson of Juanita Steffen, a lifelong Best Friend to Nancy Clark, Nephew and Cousin to many, longtime resident at Northeast Residence Inc., and an unforgettable guy to everyone he ever met. Memorial Gathering Wednesday, November 8th, 2017 from 11AM-1 PM at SANDBERG FUNERAL HOME, 2593 E. 7th Ave., North St.Paul. Will be followed by Celebrating Eric with some of his favorite things at the American Legion, 2678 E. 7th Ave., North St. Paul from 1 PM-4PM. In lieu of flowers, your presence is appreciated.
