Eric Joseph MacFarlane

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our much-loved son, brother, grandson, nephew, uncle and friend, Eric, on July 26, 2016, at home.

Eric loved spending time with family, friends and his dog Sandy. He had a great passion for the outdoors especially kayaking, dirt biking, and fixing anything with a motor. At his young age, family, and neighbours could call on Eric to assist with anything needing fixing. Eric was a grade 12 student at Inverness Academy. He was known for being a fun-loving, wild and crazy soul! One of his biggest assets was his generous, and kind heart.

Eric is survived by his parents, Eric and Geralding (MacEachern) MacFarlane; brother, Richard Nerysoo, Dartmouth; sisters, Rena Nerysoo, Edmonton; Erica, Allie (Brendon) and, Sarah MacFarlane of Ontario and Rosie Gainey (Lane) of Virginia; grandmother, Catherine MacFarlane, Gillisdale and nieces and nephews, Faith, Chloe, Evely, and Calvin, as well as many aunts and uncles, and cousins.

He was predeceased by his grandparents, Danny Hector and Katie Mae MacEachern and Joe MacFarlane.

Visitation for Eric will be held Friday, from 2-4 & 7-9 pm in the Inverness Funeral Home. Funeral mass will be celebrated on Saturday at 11 am in Stella Maris Church with Fr. Danny MacLennan officiating. Burial will take place in MacDougall Cemetery.
