Eric Scott Radosevich, 57, was called home to Paradise on August 29, 2026.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles L. Radosevich and Theresa B. Radosevich; father-in-law Modesto Blanco, and brother-in-law Matthew Blanco.

Eric was a lifelong resident of Santa Cruz, NM. He was a jack of all trades personally and professionally, and enjoyed a varied career including tenures as a machinist and an over-the-road truck driver.

Eric’s favorite hobbies included drives to the mountains, fly fishing, riding his dirt bikes and Harleys, and working on his cars and truck. He was always ready to offer a helping hand to friends in need, and even strangers when the occasion struck. He frequently offered assistance to those in need during snow and rain storms, simply because he enjoyed helping others.

Eric had an immense love of animals, especially dogs, and rescued too many to count during his lifetime. He never overlooked a stray, animal or otherwise, even if it came back to bite him.

Eric is survived by his wife, Patricia; daughters Heather Radosevich (Joshua) and Michelle Truden (Luigi); grandchildren Angelina Gianna and Charlie James Truden; brother Charles L. Radosevich, Jr. (Theresa); nieces Briana Bustos (Ryan) and Kristina Radosevich; aunts Marie Pacheco and Sally Borrego, and uncle Placido Borrego; mother-in-law Judy Blanco; sister-in-law Bonnie Montoya (Paul); brother-in-law Michael Blanco (Loyola) and nephew Mikey Blanco.

Something he posted on his facebook page recently sums him up in his entirety -

I’ve screwed up as a Man,

as a Father,

as a Husband,

as a Son,

as a Friend,

and a Brother…

I don’t always do or say the “right things”.

I have a smart mouth, I am hardheaded, I have secrets, I have scars, I fight demons, because I have a history.

Some people love me,

Some people like me,

Some people might hate me.

I have done good in my life.

I have done bad in my life.

I may even be crazy, random and silly. I will not pretend to be someone I am not. I am who I am. You can love me or hate me.

But if I love you, I do it with my whole heart, and I will make no apologies for the way I am. If I do not like you, I promise that I will make that abundantly clear too.

I AM ME… And I will not change it for the world.

However, I continue to become a better man.

May you now rest (and fish) forever in the loving presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You will be immensely missed, We will love you and miss you forever, until we meet again.

Eric never wanted any sort of service, should he pass, and the family will be respecting his wishes. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you remember the good times that you had with him and donate to an animal shelter/rescue in need.
