Eric Leeder Stokes

ERIC LEEDER STOKES, U.E. 1984 - 2019 After battling a long illness, Eric passed away peacefully in his sleep on 23 April, 2019 at Georgetown Hospital in the presence of his family. Beloved son to Robert and his late wife Janice (Leeder), proud brother to Heather and Mark, brother in law to Jordan and Erika, dear nephew to aunts Mary Ellen and Lynda, best friend to cousins Ross and Megan and astonished uncle to Wilder. His absence will be deeply felt by all those whom he knew. Eric was a dedicated fan of early rock and roll music and programmes of the golden age of television. He will be remembered as being a pillar of strength and bravery against a disease which slowly robbed him of his best years. Family and friends will be received at Jones Funeral Home (11582 Trafalgar Rd, Georgetown) on Friday, 26 April, from 7-9 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Holy Cross Catholic Church (14400 Argyll Road, Georgetown), on Saturday, 27 April, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. Eric will be laid to rest in St. James the Minor Catholic Cemetery near Ballycanoe, Ontario on Monday, 29 April. In lieu of flowers and if desired, donations can be made to Muscular Dystrophy Canada.
