Eric Griffin
Eric Griffin, age 37, of Carrington, North Dakota, passed away on July 8, 2025.
Eric was born at Camp Pendleton in California and grew up in Lexington, Tennessee. He brought strength, love, and loyalty into every life he touched. He was a devoted husband, a proud and loving father, and a steady presence to those who knew him. Eric had a smile that brightened every room and a laugh you could hear from miles away.
He met the love of his life, Karlee, in 2016 in Minot, North Dakota, while working for Aaseth Farms in Velva. They were married on August 21, 2021, in a beautiful outdoor ceremony surrounded by family and friends. Together, they built a life full of love, laughter, and purpose.
Eric’s greatest joy came from being a father. He was endlessly proud of his daughter, Brooklyn (born August 3, 2018), and his son, Memphis (born February 17, 2024), who were the light of his life.
He loved camping, riding horses, and cheering at dirt track races; he was always happiest when surrounded by family, friends, and the outdoors. Eric was the kind of person who was always willing to help anyone, no matter the need. He would answer anyone’s call at any time, ready to lend a hand, share a laugh, or simply show up when it mattered most.
Eric was deeply dedicated to Karlee and always made sure she was cared for and supported. Whether it was cheering her on in her career, jumping into her crazy camper renovation projects, or helping organize the community Easter egg hunt, he was always by her side, steadfast and proud.
He is survived by his wife, Karlee; their children, Brooklyn and Memphis; his mother, Theresa; his siblings, Pamela (Chris), Nathan (Shayna), and Grant; many nieces and nephews who adored him; his aunts and uncles; countless friends whose lives he touched; and by Karlee’s family, who loved him like their own.
He was preceded in death by his father, Gary.
Eric’s legacy lives on in the hearts of all who knew him and in the memories they’ll carry forward.
Eric’s Visitation will be Monday, July 14, 2025, from 1:00PM–4:00PM at Evans Funeral Home, Carrington, and will continue from 5:00PM-6:00PM followed by a Prayer Service at 6:00PM at Trinity Lutheran Church, Carrington, ND.
A Funeral Service will be held Tuesday, July 15, 2025 at 11:00AM at Trinity Lutheran Church, Carrington, ND.
