Eric Lynden sadly has passed away after a long hard-fought battle with Cancer, on February 27, 2014 at his home in Brentwood Bay, BC. Eric was born June 30, 1950. Eric will be deeply missed by his loving wife Wendy, son Jason (Lori) daughter Amy along with his grandchildren Jessica, Korrina, Kathleen and Bradley. His brothers Barry and Al and his sister Pam were close and have fond memories to cherish of Eric. He will be missed by other family members and friends including his best friend Bruce from Indiana and neighbors Jack and Leeanne who have been so supportive in this trying time. Eric will always be remembered for his great sense of humor and his famous line “I still got it!” after a joke, which will forever make us chuckle. Eric loved his music and books. He was also a huge Sports fan and was thrilled he saw the Seahawks win the Super Bowl. He was a wealth of knowledge and experiences and loved to talk about historical events and special people. He was a very charitable man and truly cared about people. Eric was retired from Nanaimo Corrections Centre and his favorite aspect of his work was facilitating the programs, which he was excellent at and very highly regarded by his peers and colleagues.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Eric at The Saanich Heritage (Historical) Artifacts Society Chapel on Saturday, April 19, 2014 at 2:00pm. It will be officiated by Reverend Ron MacCluskey. Address is: 7321 Lochside Drive Saanichton, BC V8M 1W4. (Turn towards Michell’s farm on Island View from Pat Bay, then quick left). Friends and Family are welcome. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to BC Cancer Agency, 2410 Lee Avenue, Victoria, BC V8R 6V5
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Dear Uncle Eric..
Every family has someone who creates such warm feelings, who brings so much happiness to the special days that they shared together, who gives so much love to everyone who has had the chance to have known them. Every family has someone like that….and that someone is you….. loved, deeply missed, always remembered, highly respected…….Love from your nephew Tim…….
I am so sorry that you are gone, sorry for everyone’s heartache.
Adios big brother. If wishes were horses we’d be riding together.
Baby,I miss you so much!
My Best Friend in the world and you taught me so much everyday.
Thank you for the Best 24 years I could ever ask for Baby.
You are in my heart forever! You are my Hero and my Superman!
I am so lucky I landed you.
I was nothing “til there was you”
All my love forever.

Bob, Carol and family
My heart is broken. Will miss you every single day.
Sorry to hear of Eric’s passing although his suffering is over. We had not seen him for many years but have a lot of memories of him here in Saint John, Foymount etc. We got a lot of laughs out of him especially when he was little. He was always, “My name is Airwick,
Daddy’s little Airwick”. This was before he learned to talk and we still talk about it. RIP “Buddy”.

Wendy, I love you. Thank-you for all the joy and love you brought him.
Love you both always,
