Leif “Eric” Grindel Jr. left this world doing one of the things he loved most… enjoying the open air. As an avid outdoorsman, Eric was most in his element fishing for the next big catch, camping in the woods, or on a great hunting expedition.
Always ready with a joke, a smile, and a handshake, Eric was quick to make friends. Having worked for BNSF for many years, his travels brought him great joy and many fun stories that he loved to share.
Eric is preceded in his passing by his beloved son Nick and beloved grandmother Nancy Grindel. He is survived by his beloved children Caleb, Molly, Jaxen, and Tyton; parents Leif Grindel and Debbie Menzor, his grandfather Robert Grindel, grandmother Barbara Overmyer, bother Kyle Sophy and sister Angel Grindel. He is also survived by beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and so many other close family and friends who love and will miss him dearly.
A viewing to honor Eric will be held at the Allnutt Funeral Service Hunter Chapel on Friday, August 5, 2022, from 2-4pm. A small gathering with light hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will follow. Please join us in remembering Eric and in sharing your fun stories of his time with us all.
