A Nebraska widow wanted to make sure that her husband was remembered for who he really was and that it wasn't the average obituary. After her husband Eric passed away from a two-year battle with cancer, Crystal Sauser sat down and penned what is quickly becoming a viral tribute to her loving husband.
According to the obituary on Legacy.com, Eric "AKA Super Dad, AKA Easy, just a rockin' dude from Omaha, NE passed away peacefully in his sleep on Friday, February 26, 2021, at the age of 43 with his wife by his side." She jokes that "His departure was just in time for him to make his spiritual appearance at every Red Sox spring game."
Crystal also wrote that he had a love for everyone he met and, "there is a good chance he told you that - probably sober, but maybe not." She then listed his loves "in this order, his smoking hot wife, his brilliant kids and family, his many friends, the Boston Red Sox, the Kansas City Chiefs (before being a Chiefs fan was cool), the Huskers, Liverpool Futbol, QT iced tea, Adidas sneakers, fishing, backpacking, hiking, hunting, and any old Chevy he saw on the road."
While the pun is ridiculously corny, it's also extremely sweet when Eric's wife includes, "We are not positive, but we think the cause of death was either leukemia or more likely being "dead sexy". Eric, we've always loved you and miss you already."
Then, as the obituary closes out with information about the funeral and graveside services, she takes time to mention that "Admission is free to all who attend this once in a lifetime show for the greatest man on earth. Following the Service, the family requests jamming out to Ozzy Osborne and raising a cold beer (preferably Busch Light) in celebration of Eric's life. In lieu of flowers, please pray that the Huskers have a winning season, or send a donation to The Leukemia And Lymphoma Society in Eric's name. He would appreciate either or both."
