Eric Eugene Wise, fondly known as "Saint", passed away on December 5, 2016 from natural causes. He was 56 years old. Cremation has been entrusted to Croxford Funeral Home & Crematory. No formal service will be held at this time, however Saint will be laid to rest at Fort Harrison Veteran Cemetery in Helena, MT with full Military Honors in the near future.
Eric was born in Cincinnati, OH on March 5, 1960. He graduated there from Hughes High School in 1978 and went on the enlist in the US Air Force. He served honorably from 1978 – 1985. He made a living as an artist and carpenter after being honorably discharged from the military. On October 31, 1978, he was married to Rose Bailey. The two later divorced, but together they reared three loving daughters.
Eric was a great painter and photographer. He specialized in oil paints and watercolor and had created a darkroom in his home to develop his photos. His passion for these arts was apparent in the detail he poured into his pieces – going so far as to stretch his own canvases and construct each frame himself.
Saint was well known across Montana and especially so in Great Falls. Along with his numerous friends, survivors include his three daughters, his former wife, his father, 2 sisters, 2 brothers, and two grandchildren.
