Eric Steven Franz, 56, of Menan, Idaho, passed away June 25, 2021, at the Community Hospital in Idaho Falls.

Eric was born November 16, 1964, in Orange County, California, to Steven Gustav Franz and Donna Marie Jacobs Franz. He grew up in Salt Lake City and graduated from East High School in 1983. Eric served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in The Connecticut Hartford Mission. He attended Ricks College, and went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in Communications in 1991 from Idaho State University.

On August 5, 1988 he married Heidi Lyn Hix in the Idaho Falls Temple. Eric and Heidi made their home in Menan, Idaho where they raised their five children.  Eric worked in Purchasing and Sales, and recently as a loan officer for Mountain America Credit Union.

He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He served in various positions as a teacher, in the Bishopric, Young Mens, and Elders Quorum. He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. He never missed a week of handwriting a letter to one of his four missionary sons.
