Eric John Cannon

Our Eric!

Eric John Cannon, age 51, passed away January 12, 2024, of Newtown Square, PA.

Eric was a happy and caring young man who had “Special Needs”.

Eric enjoyed being around his family and being at his home with his extended family.

Eric loved going to the movies; going shopping and going on long car rides.

Eric would volunteer at his local food shelter like “Open Door” who got to know him well.

Eric loved to stay at the shore and enjoy the ocean view. He was especially good at giving “hugs”! And receiving them too!

Eric was a Phillies fan and enjoyed a few visits to see them play!

He was also a fan of the Eagles and the Sixers and loved watching them play on TV!

Eric’s favorite TV Station was Channel 6!  He knew the Action News crew by name, especially Adam Joseph, & David Muir, he would keep his schedule by their appearances on TV.

And if Eric would visit you and have dinner, as soon as Jeopardy came on TV, he knew it was time to go so he would be home in time to watch Wheel of Fortune! But he would never leave without helping you do the dishes!

Eric loved his pasta and meatballs! And loved to go out to eat! And enjoyed his Wendy’s frosty!

To Know Eric is to love him with all your heart!  He touched everyone’s hearts with his unconditional smile and his kindness!

Dear Eric, you left your mark on our lives!  Love you, Boop!
