Eric LaBare, age 60, passed away surrounded by love and peace. Born into a large and close-knit family, he lived a life marked by charisma, kindness, and a spirit uniquely his own.
A talented craftsman, he owned his own tile business for several years and took great pride in his work. He had a natural gift for home improvement and landscaping, always eager to transform a space with his hands and creativity. Whether on the job or helping someone out, he worked hard and put his heart into what he did.
Eric was known for his big personality, his warmth, and the way he could draw people in. Though he could be frivolous at times and lived life on his own terms, he remained a good person with a good heart. He cared deeply for those around him and loved in the way he knew how — fully, honestly, and in his own way.
He is survived by his two children, Olivia LaBare and Luke LaBare; his brother Dirk (Shari) LaBare; his sisters Lori (Phil) Ledyard and Denise LaBare-Witham; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members who will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, his parents, and his sister Julie LaBare.
Loved by many, he leaves behind memories that will forever live in the hearts of those who knew him.
May he rest in peace.
