A memorial gathering celebrating Eric's life will be from 3:00 until 7:00 PM, Wednesday, February 21, 2024, at Claridon Woodlands, 11383 Claridon Troy Rd, Chardon. Eric was born January 27, 1981, in Cleveland to James E. Rolf (deceased) and MaryJo Robinson (nee Malone). Eric is a dynamic individual who has a deep passion for the outdoors and adventure. Raised in Perry, Ohio, Eric developed a love for nature and in-line speed skating from an early age. His childhood was filled with camping trips, fishing excursions, and exploring the vast wilderness surrounding his hometown. As he grew older, Eric's enthusiasm for outdoor activities only intensified. He became an avid Razor Rider and dirt biker, fearlessly navigating rugged terrains and conquering challenging trails with his boys. His adventurous spirit and determination inspired those around him, as he constantly pushed his own limits and motivated others to do the same. But Eric's passion for the outdoors was not limited to adrenaline-pumping activities. He also cherished the moments of tranquility and connection that nature provided. Whether it was kayaking through the serene Grand River or simply enjoying a peaceful sunset by a campfire, Eric found solace and rejuvenation in the natural world. In addition to his love for outdoor pursuits, Eric was known for his strong work ethic. He approached every task with dedication and a can-do attitude, inspiring his colleagues and friends to give their best. His unwavering motivation and positive energy were contagious, creating a supportive and uplifting environment wherever he went. When Eric wasn't exploring the great outdoors or working hard, he found joy in traveling with his family and friends. Whether it was camping or an island adventure, Eric cherished the moments spent exploring new places and creating lasting memories with his loved ones. Eric is the beloved husband of 14 years to Kirsten Harvey-Rolf; loving father of Kyle and Luke; proud son of MaryJo Robinson (nee Malone) (Charles - deceased); cherished brother of Katy Horton (Bryan); proud uncle of Max, Harper, and Olive; devoted son-in-law of Richard and Darlene Harvey.
