In loving memory of

Eric Anderson
December 13, 1964 - July 18, 2020

Eric Noel Anderson, 55, of Newport RI died peacefully on July 18th after a short battle with an illness. He passed while at Newport Hospital, surrounded by his family.

Born on December 13, 1964, Eric was the son of the late Donald O. and Solveig M. Anderson of Newport. He leaves behind a daughter, Dana A. Anderson of Johnston RI; four sisters; one brother; and countless nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Eric lived in Newport all his life and had many friends. He enjoyed music, fishing, and boating - but his first love was always his daughter Dana. A meticulous painter and craftsman, Eric worked in the trades most of his life. He was known for his caring personality and sense of humor.

Funeral services will be private, and there will be no calling hours. In lieu of flowers or cards, Eric's family would prefer you celebrate his life by making a small donation to the charity of your choice.

"I live by Eric in portsmouth at Bayview on west main rd. I new him from younger days. He had a beautiful heart kind ? and alaround great guy. I think he deserved a better life but for even the kindness of people have a time trying to find it. I wish he could have seen him self in the way people seem. He will be missed I just fond out he passed and I am very upset finding out so late after. Someone told me I asked someone if they had seen him lately and that's how I fond out. It's sad I just wish had it a little bit easier life. I wish his family the best. I want to share something he said to me one time I ran in to him on newport Ave I was really excited to see him he I love people like you. He said because when I see you weather I'm doing good or bad you always welcome me with the same smile and kindness everything I see you. He said there should be more people out there like with a kind heart. He made my day for saying that and there will always be them kind words he spoke to me I will never for eric .Pease and love my friend till we come across each other again."
