Eric Jansen Obituary, Death – On Friday, December 15, 2023, Eric Donald Jansen, 33, of Charleston, Illinois, who was formerly of Neoga, Illinois, passed away. He was born in Effingham, Illinois on February 19, 1990, the son of Andrew and Lisa (Heuerman) Jansen. After attending Neoga High School, St. Michael’s Grade School, and Eastern Illinois University, Eric earned a master’s degree in sports administration.

He loved sports in general and the Cardinals in particular for his entire life. Eric took pleasure in renovating his newly acquired first home, which he was proud of. He especially enjoyed taking his dogs to the family farm and pond while they were out on walks. While working in Florida, Texas, and Illinois, he established a lot of lifelong acquaintances, some of whom seemed more like family than others.

Everyone will miss his contagious grin and exuberant attitude. In addition to his parents, Andy and Lisa Jansen of rural Neoga, Illinois, he leaves behind a brother, Lee Jansen (Sophia Frichtl) of Neoga, Illinois, sisters, Jamie (John) Burton of Neoga, Illinois, Kelly (John) Arrotti of Clarendon Hills, Illinois, and Kristen (Aaron) Snyder of Neoga, Illinois; grandma, Marilyn Jansen of Neoga, Illinois, and Carol Heuerman of Teutopolis,

Illinois, as well as a large extended family. His cherished golden retrievers, Yadi and Frankie, as well as his father, Jim Jansen, and maternal grandfather, Donald Heuerman, predeceased him. The family has requested that memorials be used in place of flowers. On Wednesday, December 20, 2023, at 11:30 a.m., there will be a Christian burial mass at St. Michael the Archangel Church in Sigel, Illinois.

On Wednesday, December 20, 2023, from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM, there will be a visitation in the church. If you plan to attend the ceremony, you can dress traditionally for a funeral or show your support for the Cardinals by dressing like “Team Eric” and donning any sports jersey.
