Eric Victor Sueling

Eric Victor Sueling, devoted husband to Bonnie (Isaac) Sueling, loving Father to Shelly (Sissy), Kelly, and Roxeann, Grandfather to James, Josephine, Johnny, Erica, and Isabelle, Great-Grandfather to Malakai, Brother-In-Law to Donna, and beloved uncle to Jerry ""Hometown"" LoSasso, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday January 6. Eric was preceded in death by his Mother and Father Verl and Dorothy Sueling, and Mother and Father-In-Law John and Margaret Isaac. Eric was born in Hawthorne, Nevada on May 26, 1940. He attended school there and graduated from Mineral County High School before enlisting in the Army. Eric served for six years (1961-1967) during which time he received medical training at William Beaumont Hospital in El Paso, Texas before being transferred to Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center in Aurora, Colorado as an Army Medic. During his time at Fitzsimmons Eric was set up on a blind date that would turn into a fifty-one year marriage to his ""Bonnie Babe."" When they began dating Eric learned he was to be sent to Korea for 13 months on a hardship tour. Before he shipped out he married Bonnie and learned while away that he had become a father to a beautiful baby girl named Shelly. In their time apart, Eric wrote Bonnie everyday. From Korea he was transferred to the recruiting station in Indianapolis, Indiana. While in Indianapolis Bonnie and Shelly joined Eric and the couple had their second girl, Kelly. He was discharged on June 28, 1967 and they returned as a family to Colorado. For a short time he worked as a male nurse at Rocky Mountain Hospital until his Father-In-Law, John Isaac, got him a job at Nobel Foods that would end up being a 33 year long career. Eric worked as a Receiving Clerk and was respected and always well-liked by everyone he worked with. In 1972, they had their third daughter, Roxeann. Throughout their years of parenting, Eric made sure his girls all knew they were strong, intelligent, independent women who never failed to make their ""Honeyboy"" proud. Eric and Bonnie retired together in 2000 and spent the next 15 years cherishing one another and regularly doing their favorite thing, gambling. Full retirement didn't suit him very well so after six years he went to work at Sears Grand and was Warehouse Supervisor which he enjoyed immensely. He survived Lymphoma in his 70's and was grateful for every day he had with his family. Eric leaves a legacy of unconditional love and unending laughter in the hearts of his entire family and everyone who knew him. Services are planned for Thursday, January 14 at 5:00pm for a viewing with a Rosary service to follow at 6:00pm at Horan & McConaty Funeral Home at 9998 Grant St, Thornton, CO 80229. The funeral mass is Friday January, 15 at 12:30pm at Guardian Angels Parish Community at 1843 W 52nd Ave, Denver, CO 80221 with a Memorial Service at 3:00pm at Fort Logan.
