Eric Leonhardt

Eric J. Leonhardt, age 43, of Sheboygan, went to be with his Lord on June 3, 2018 at Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice surrounded by his family.
Eric was born in Sheboygan on February 11, 1975, to Jim and Cherie (Manske) Leonhardt. He attended local schools and graduated from South High School in 1993. He received an associates degree in business at UW Whitewater. He was a lifelong member of St. Mark Lutheran Church.
At the age of 18 Eric was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, but never let that define who he was. Eric was interested in sports and was a big fan of the Kansas City Royals and George Brett. Another passion he had was music, especially the band, Pearl Jam. He enjoyed collecting baseball cards and coins.
Eric is survived by his parents, Jim and Cherie; a brother Christopher (Sara) Leonhardt; five nieces and nephews, Savannah, Phoenix, Kate, Boston, and his namesake Eric all of Wauwatosa; aunts and uncles, Jack and Barb Leonhardt and Mike and Christine Donnick. Other family and friends further survive.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Cliff and Doris Manske and his paternal grandparents, George and Mathea Leonhardt.
Funeral services for Eric will be held at 11 AM on Saturday, June 9, 2018 at St. Mark Lutheran Church, 1019 N 7th St., Sheboygan, with Pastor Brett Matz officiating. Family will greet visitors at the church from 9 AM until the time of the service at 11 AM. Eric will be laid to rest at Lutheran Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like memorials to be given in Eric's name to St. Mark Food Pantry, RCS, or Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice.
The family would like to personally thank Pastor Matz for the continuous support given to them. They would also like to thank Mary Lou and the caregiving staff from Innovative Services, the staff at RCS, and his high school friend Ryan Gordon for his weekly visits.
