Eric Steiman

March 1, 1965 — July 6, 2019

Inheritance

These old leather gloves belonged
to my father. They feel
like his hands turned inside-
out. When I lose them,
riding down the highway, I wonder
what shape my hands will take
tomorrow.
-Jared


Eric Steiman, 54, passed away on Saturday, July 6th. He is survived by his former wife, Stephanie, their four children, Jared (Alondra), Benjamin, Zachary, and Erika, of Chattanooga, TN; brother Barry (Kate) Steiman, their three children Alicia, Seth and Aaron, of Raleigh, NC; sister-in-law Kelly Miranda, nieces Myryah and Kayleah, of NJ; in-laws Nancy and Stephen Fletcher, of Hixson, TN; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Beverly Steiman.


Born March 1st, 1965, in Boston, Massachusetts, Eric grew up in Toms River, NJ. He graduated from Toms River High School East in 1983. In 1990, he settled in Chattanooga, TN. In the years after, he built a successful career as a carpenter, his reputation for excellent work supported his family until his final days. His time between jobs was spent riding motorcycles, camping with family, and supporting his children’s various endeavours. He will be remembered for years to come in every Chattanooga home or business he remodeled or repaired -- of which there are many. He will be recognized in his children, who are growing up to become poets, musicians, and artists, mechanics and builders, volunteers, activists and entrepreneurs .

Though we grieve our loss, there is joy too in having known and loved such a special man.
Please join us as we gather to celebrate his life on August 11th, 2019, in Chester Frost Park, 2277 Gold Point Circle N, Hixson, TN. Sunday Brunch will be served in the main pavilion from
