Eric Law

Calvin Eric Law passed away on August 4th, 2023 at Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan, KS. Calvin, known as Eric, was born February 9, 1963 in Topeka, KS and adopted by Clair and Marjorye Law from Hays, KS. After his father remarried, Eric lived with Clair and Cherry Law in Hays where he graduated from Hays High School and attended Fort Hays Kansas State College. He had three daughters from his first marriage to Kimberly Tate, and became a stepfather in his second marriage to Jeanette Hollinger and they adopted two additional children.

Eric was a "jack of all trades" and found many things in life that brought him joy. He worked in construction, was a chef, and an accomplished irrigation sprinkler technician. Eric had a profound love of music which led him to being a professionally trained sound engineer. Eric was most happy in the outdoors and loved the mountains and skiing, but conversely loved the ocean and beach.
