At the age of 59, Eric has left us for a happier place in the realm of the universe. Eric was born in Vancouver in 1961, and he moved to Kamloops in 1974 where he lived most of his life, except when he lived in Calgary for a few years in the early 80’s.

Predeceased by his Father Simon Hubertus Stryk, Eric leaves behind his children Angela Kiesman,

Kody Lafleur, and Logan Stryk and his 4 grandchildren (Lorien, Emmaly, Lily & Charlie). Eric was very much loved by his Mother Maria Adriana Stryk and his sisters Jo-Anne Lappin,  Yvonne Trarup, her husband Dan, and Michelle Stryk.

In the prime of his life, Eric was a very talented electrician who branched out on his own and stood out from the average.  We remember him as “Eric of all trades”.  He could fix almost anything.  He was creatively talented in many other ways as well:  Natural guitar player (though he was hard on strings), woodwork, drawing, painting, fly tying, and cooking just to name a few.

Eric was loved and cherished by many people.  His voice, his easy smile, and his friendship will be greatly missed.

“As you go away, along with you goes a part of us

but we are happy now that you are free!”

Rest in Peace Eric
