ULMER, ERIC A.
of Kalamazoo, MI

Eric A. Ulmer, age 41, passed away after a short illness on February 19, 2020. He was surrounded by his family at Rose Arbor Hospice Residence.

Eric enjoyed all things nature. On a beautiful summer day, you would most likely find him on a nature walk collecting and observing with his girls or tending to his garden. His interest and talent with computers started at an early age. His attention to detail allowed him to see the world in an amazing way.
