Obituary of Eric Rasmussen

Martin "Eric" Rasmussen, 89, passed away peacefully in his home on September 29, 2024.

He is survived by his two children, Thora and Reid (and daughter-in-law Heidi); and his sister, Ann Kiefer. He was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wife of 50 years, Margaret.

Eric was born in Brisco, grew up in Edgewater, and lived most of his life in The Windermere Valley. He was a lifelong outdoorsman: farming, logging, and raising Christmas Trees. He served tirelessly on the Regional District and in various volunteer roles. Engaged in the community right to end (even from his scooter), he enjoyed sharing stories about nature and the community he cherished. 

A Celebration of Life Open House will be held at the Invermere Seniors Hall on November 26, 2024, from 2:00-4:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Invermere Senior Hall or the Rotary Club of Invermere.
