Eric was born on December 3, 1962, in Minneapolis, MN to John and Micheline Schwappach, he spent his formative years in state of New Mexico.
Eric is survived by his wife of 30 years, Tatiana; daughter, Kati; mother Micheline; his siblings, Christopher (Mary), Michèle (Lloyd), Laurie (Rick); niece, Alexandra (Ryne) and great nephew, Magnus. He was preceded in death by his father.
Eric was known for having a keen sense of humor and always made others laugh. He had an intense love of food and would try everything that was placed in front of him. He always missed the green chilies from his home state of New Mexico, but indulged every time he made the trip. Despite the miles that separated them, Eric’s family held him close in their hearts, their love for him undiminished by distance. Eric also made a strong impression and developed many deep friendships over his 30-year career at work with Total System Services, Inc. (Global Payments). Eric is loved by many and will always be in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. Rest in Peace, Eric.
