October 23, 1955 - April 16, 2013
David Lennart Ericson. Beloved husband of Jennifer (nee Sanderson); loving father of Sarah, Eleanor, and Alexander. Survived by father, Lennart; brother, Dean; sister, Jane; and cousins, nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by mother, Gloria. Dave was born in 1955, grew up in West Bloomington, and lived for many years on West 50th Street in Minneapolis where he died on April 16, 2013 surrounded by family, after a courageous battle with leukemia. He is fondly remembered for his exceptional cooking and photography skills, and his love of the outdoors. He devoted his time and energies to raising three children whom he cherished.
I will always remember Dave as such a caring, gentle soul. He possessed a great knowledge, and his love of music & cooking was contagious when one was around him. I feel blessed to have so many memories with David and your family. He will be greatly missed by many.
Love, Julie
Jennifer and family,
We are deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your husband and father, our friend and neighbor. We are thankful to have had the opportunity to know Dave and now pray that all of you will find solace in all of your favorite memories of him. We are very sorry.
Dan and Terie Olson
My sincere condolences to Jennifer, Sarah, Eleanor, Alexander, and family during this time of sorrow, may the God of all comfort bring the comfort needed for you to cope. At John 5:28 & 29 we are promised that there will be a resurrection back to life in the future. May this promise help soothe the pain in your hearts.
I have fond memories of swapping stories with Dave during neighborhood gatherings. Some of our tales were recent & others further back in our footloose, pre-kids days. He had a great sense of humor and always made me laugh. I will miss his company. Condolences to Jennifer and your family during this time.
I learned the sad news of the death of David eh express deepest sympathies to his departure to heaven. Assure you prayers for his soul and I human and spiritual solidarity with his wife Jennifer and their daughters. With esteem Angelo Lacoppola
