Eric Todd was born April 4, 1981, in Pipestone, MN, to Ricky and Sharon (Mielke) Walberg. He began his education in Jasper, MN, and graduated from Pipestone High School in 1999. Eric attended Southeast Technical Institute in Sioux Falls and worked as an automotive technician at Amdahl Motors in Pipestone, MN. Then he was a custodian at Pipestone High School before returning to Amdahl Motors. He was currently working at Musch Construction doing concrete work as a concrete “technician.” Eric married Kristi Humphrey on September 12, 2015 in Pipestone. He was a member of Messiah Lutheran Church. Eric grew up loving to spend time at the farm with his dad and Allan. He enjoyed hunting and fishing with his dad and family. Eric and Scott spent many summer days playing baseball at the farm; they used their pajama pants because they looked like uniforms, pretending to be professionals and batting left handed to make it more realistic. He had a passion for music; he loved to play guitar and sing, but not play the piano like his mom. He loved to play pinochle with his family. Eric loved having Heidi as a partner so they could kick Nikki’s butt. He loved his family and his nieces and nephews were his pride and joy.

Eric is survived by his wife, Kristi; his parents, Ricky and Sharon, Jasper; three siblings, Scott (Leah), Royalton, MN (Dakota, Aurora, Bianca), Nicole (John) Martens, Pipestone, MN, (Angel, Noelle, JJ, Cody) and Heidi (Dan) Dammen, Grand Forks, ND; 15 nieces and nephews; and mother and father-in-law, Linda and Pat Flanagan, Pipestone, MN. Eric was preceded in death by his grandparents, and two uncles, Russ and Rodney.

His funeral service was held Friday, April 28, 2017 at Messiah Lutheran Church, rural Flandreau, with burial in Oslo Cemetery.
