Keith “Eric” Onsum, age 58, passed away on February 19, 2012, following a lengthy illness. He was born December 8, 1953, in Bellingham, Washington, to Keith and Betty Onsum. He attended Sehome High School. As a younger man, he was an aggressive athlete, participating in “hot dog” skiing, extreme wind surfing, endurance bicycle riding and later river kayaking. For a number of years he owned and operated businesses in stained glass and windsurfing. He was a loving father who shared his enthusiasm for outdoor sports and Beatles music with his children. He was a gentle soul and loved his family and kept in close touch with them. He was preceded in death by his father Keith Onsum. He is survived by daughter Shalome (husband Ryan) Hurley and their children Emma and Andrew, son Hans Onsum, mother Betty (husband Gordon) Graves, sisters Ruth Onsum, Carol Onsum-Pierce (husband Ron), Janis (husband Tony) Ghazel, brother Harold (wife Tammi) Onsum, and many loving nephews and nieces. A celebration of Eric’s life will be held in Bellingham later this year.
