FRISCO — Family and friends will gather Friday to celebrate the life of Eric Scott Denton, a father and musician born in Carrollton on Aug. 13, 1985, remembered for his warmth, a love of comics and a devotion to his two daughters.
Local ties and a life described by loved ones
Those close to Denton say his greatest pride was fatherhood. He is survived by his daughters, Paisley and Astraea, who the obituary says were the center of his life. Denton’s other passions included collecting comic books — particularly Marvel — and the Star Wars universe, as well as performing on bass guitar with several bands earlier in life.
Relatives and friends who remember him highlighted his easy smile and the way he made people feel welcome. In the published notice, family described qualities that brought people together rather than set him apart.
“He was someone who never needed to dress up or stand out to make an impression—Eric was most comfortable simply being himself.”
Memorial arrangements and support
A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Friday, July 10, at Stonebriar Funeral Home, 10375 Preston Road, Frisco. Visitation begins at 2:00 p.m., with the service following at 2:30 p.m. The family invited attendees to come as they are.
