Eric Morton Hatzenbiler

It is with deep sorrow and fond memories that family and friends report Carmichael resident Eric Hatzenbiler passed away in his sleep on August 31, 2013 at the age of 50. He is survived by the true loves of his life: wife Suzanne, sons Gunnar and Hogan, and stepdaughters Hannah and Allie Mering. Born in Reno, Nevada on July 13, 1963, Eric graduated from the University of Nevada in 1986 and moved to the Sacramento region in the early 1990s. Through hard work, integrity and affability, Eric built a highly successful financial consulting practice over the years, working for some of the most prestigious local and national firms. He adored his wife and children, with whom he enjoyed many activities, including boating, traveling the West in the family's RV, taking his boys motocross racing and rooting for the Nevada Wolf Pack. An avid golfer, Eric was an active member of Del Paso Country Club, where he enjoyed the company of his many friends. He recently completed a term as the club's president. During his presidency, Eric was instrumental in bringing the 2015 United States Senior Open to Del Paso. Eric was also past president of 20-30 Club #1; his distinguished service earned him Past Active Life membership, one of only 17 members in the club's history to receive the honor. While Eric possessed many attributes, he is best remembered for his kindness, humor, loyalty and zest for life. Eric will be greatly missed by anyone who ever had the good fortune to know him. A celebration of his life was held at Del Paso Country Club. In lieu of flowers, friends may make donations in Eric's memory to the American Heart Association , the Del Paso Foundation or a charity of choice.
