Eric Steven Abowd left this world all too early at the age of 39 on Tuesday, January 7, 2020.
Eric was born March 28, 1980 in Seattle, Washington but moved to Carson City shortly after, where he spent all his growing-up years. Eric bled Nevada blue and white as a wrestler, running back and Captain for the Carson High Football program. He was always happiest driving the ball up the field.
He graduated College from Drake University with dual degrees in Economics and Politics in 2003. Following college Eric worked relentlessly, successfully building his financial advising businesses, Abowd and Rose Financial Group and Aspire Capital Advisors. Eric received some of the top awards in the financial industry however his greatest accomplishment he was most proud of is his 13-year-old Daughter, Mallory Lynn.
He is survived by his wife, Nicole Abowd, daughter, Mallory, parents Charlie and Karen Abowd, grandfather Paul Abowd, sister Racquel Abowd, brother Jeremiah Abowd, nephews and niece Austin, Cameron and Abby Coombs and Carter Karasek, aunts Colette Burau, Cyrina Abowd and Wendy Abowd, uncles Michael Abowd and Jerry Massad, cousins Nicole Sanford and Josh Burau, mother-in-law Patrice Karasek, sister-in-law Kelly Karasek, brother-in-law’s Scott Baker and Ryan McElfish and numerous extended family members.
He is preceded in death by his grandmother Adele Abowd, grandparents Port and Gloria Shafer and Father-in-Law Tony Karasek.
The world was a better place with Eric in it. He was a champion of the underdog, always working to motivate, inspire and guide others. He loved sports and attending any live sporting event whenever possible. Anyone who got to know Eric loved Eric. He had biggest and kindest heart; he was brilliant yet goofy with a fun loving, belly laughing, sensitive soul. He was the one to make you think, laugh and frustrate you all at the same time. He was that rock, that center core, that strength, that North Star.
Eric had a way with words, a captivating delivery in his message, giving perspective, and authentic guidance. He would lend the shirt of his back without thinking twice. From the earliest of ages he was an old soul, so smart and wise beyond his years in so many ways. He had a spirit, an energy, that fun, living life large, embracing the moments mindset. When Eric had a plan he without a doubt made it happen. He didn’t ask for permission or a path to get there. He paved his own way. He loved deeply, lived with his whole heart and felt with so much intensity. He was truly one of a kind who touched the lives of everyone who knew him.
Over the past 2 years Eric grew a passion and dedication for competition bodybuilding. Like all other aspects of his life he pushed himself to his fullest potential, taking the stage — conquering challenges, taking home the trophy, and proving his determination and love of winning. Eric’s unique character, deep eyes, unforgettable smile, genuine being and tender heart will be missed by all.
Services to Celebrate the incredible man Eric was will be held on Saturday, Feb. 1 at 2 p.m. in Carson High School's Gymnasium: Dedication immediately after on the CHS Football Field.
Reception to follow at the West Side Pour House.
We ask that guests wear their favorite sports jersey as we honor the sports fanatic within Eric.
Contributions and Donations can be made in Remembrance of Eric to honor his wishes in support of his daughter Mallory and for the Annual Needs Based Scholarship he had started for Carson High School
