Eric George Sloan

Eric Sloan passed away in his home on Saturday, August 12, 2023 at the age of 67. Eric was born in Toronto as were his two younger siblings: Barbara Cole (nee Sloan) and Craig Sloan. He will be missed dearly by his siblings and their families. Eric was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2004 and was given one year to live. We witnessed his persistence, strength of character, and Eric’s will to live; He survived for 20 years!

Eric was predeceased by his father: George Sloan, his mother Barbara Jane Sloan (nee McKenna), and his beloved daughter Jessica Erin Sloan. He is survived by his loving daughter, Shauna Elise Sloan. To Eric, his daughter meant the world to him. Together Shauna and her Dad shared a joy of teasing each other, a love of fantasy novels, pizza, camping, Dairy Queen, and watching thunderstorms.

As a youngster, Eric enjoyed laughter/jokes with his birth family; He was truly proud of his Scottish heritage. Eric also enjoyed skating and playing competitive hockey. Eric had several hobbies and excelled at all of them: a love and understanding of music, a guitar player, a camper, a photographer, a mechanic and a love for his pets: dogs, cats and salt-water fish.

Thank you Eric for the special memories that we all have of you/with you, sleep well.
