Eric Dobson, age 51, passed away on Jan. 4, 2021 in Houston, TX. He was born in Crosby, MN on Oct. 2, 1969 and raised in Riverton, MN. Upon graduation from Crosby High School, Eric joined the U.S. Army. He was stationed in Germany, the Middle East, Missouri and Texas for 12 years before his discharge. Eric then began employment at Pepsi in Houston, TX until illness forced his retirement. He fought cancer with determination, grace and gentle tolerance for close to two decades.

Eric leaves behind his wife Bridgette, three children Leo, Tara and Nate, all of Houston, TX; parents Brian and Pam Dobson of Riverton, MN; siblings Brandon (Kathy) Dobson and children, of Pillager, MN; Penny (Brian) Grimsley and children of Pillager, MN. Mere words cannot express our gratitude to Eric’s cousins Mike, Leah and SaShanna for the love and comfort they provided him when he needed it the most.

Services with full military honors will be held in Houston, TX. A celebration of Eric’s life will be held in Minnesota at a later date.

Rest well son. You have earned your Heavenly Crown.
