Eric A. Sauser

OMAHA — Eric A. Sauser, 43, Omaha, died peacefully in his sleep Feb. 26, 2021, with his wife by his side. His departure was just in time for him to make his spiritual appearance at every Red Sox spring game.

A celebration of life will be March 4, at 2 p.m., at Roeder Mortuary, Omaha. The family will receive guests from 1-2 p.m., with the service following.

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.

Eric, also known as “Super Dad,” “Easy,” or just a rockin’ dude from Omaha, is survived by his wife, Crystal and three children, Amelia, Violet and Benjamin; parents, Ronnie and Paula Sauser, and his sister and aunt, Jessica Sauser. In addition to his immediate family, Eric leaves behind an incredible extended family and many, many friends.

He is preceded in death by billions, including his dog, Harvey, who most of us loved to hate.

If you knew Eric, you knew you were loved, and there is a good chance he told you that - probably sober, but maybe not. During his time here, he found a way into everyone’s heart. Eric loved, 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. Eric hated sad stories, beets, romantic comedies, a snow packed driveway and turning off the garage light. Eric was content with most everything else. We are not positive, but we think the cause of death was either leukemia or more likely being “dead sexy.”

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.
