Edilbert "Eric" Molina

Eric Anthony Molina, born Edilbert Anthony Molina, is survived by his wife, five children, unborn grandchild, and four siblings. 

Growing up in Carson and La Mirada, CA, “Berny” rallied neighborhood kids with a handmade skateboard ramp, and as president of the Filipino club threw lively dance parties. His curiosity led him to automotive school, and he worked on cars until his untimely death at 62.

Eric met his wife, Marianne, after joining his father in Montana at the Church Universal and Triumphant. Shortly after, they moved to Bloomington, MN and raised Barry, Rosana, Philip, Karl, and Eva, but returned to Montana in 2012. 

Eric often took on many projects at once and followed his spontaneity. He loved to fish, cook Filipino dishes like Pancit, surf (web and ocean), skateboard, and send his children links to all sorts of articles. His resourceful, stubborn, and playful nature lives on through his children. We are proud of you, Pappa. We love you. 

Eric Molina died on July 5th, 2024 while hiking Maitreya’s Mountain.

Services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, July 9, 2024 at Franzen-Davis Funeral Home in Livingston..
