Eric M. Tyryfter, 36, of Fargo, ND, was taken from us too soon on November 29, 2014 at Essentia Health in Fargo, after complications from a stroke.

Eric Michael Tyryfter was born November 12, 1978 to Cindy Tyryfter and David Tyryfter in Oak Creek, WI. When he was 8 they moved to Fargo, ND, where he grew up and attended school. He was a respected employee and valued asset at Caterpillar in West Fargo for the last 15 years, during which he worked his way from being a Brake Technician to a Manufacturing Systems Technician.

Eric was a loving and dedicated father of six children, and loved playing games with them and watching the Green Bay Packers.
