He was a member of St. Francis Xavier Parish.
Eric was passionate about life. He loved his family, friends, dogs and a good discussion/debate. He will be remembered for his adventurous nature, smile, infectious laughter, his heart-to-heart hugs and being a diehard Vikings fan “Skol”! Eric’s boisterous presence will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is survived by the love of his life, Keri Leyendecker; parents, Ron and Sue of Sartell; siblings, Jeremy, JennyLee (Chris) Denbrook, Sara (Kevin) Weiss, Jazmin, Jordan and Ella Wochnick; numerous foster siblings; nieces and nephews, Kenzie and Maddy Ogg, Myles Wochnick, Carter, Jackson and Maxwell Nesse, EmberLynn Denbrook, Natalie and Matthew Weiss; beloved dogs, Mona and Harli; and many friends and relatives.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Celestine & Mary Wochnick and Sylvester & Ann Oldakowski; brother, Jessie Wochnick; three infant siblings; and beloved dog, Mel.
A heartfelt thank you to all of the First Responders, Friends and Family for the overwhelming love and support.
