Eric Ronald Turner

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Eric Ronald Turner, 27, of Lakewood, Colorado, who left this world far too soon on July 17, 2025.

Eric was born on February 19, 1998, and was a kind and loving soul who lived with a quiet strength and deep compassion for others. He had a passion for cars, fireworks, and collecting unique things—always finding joy in the little details of life. He was especially known for his generosity of spirit; even when he had little, Eric was quick to offer what he could to those in need.

Eric shared a deep bond with his beloved dog, Sativa, who passed away in September of 2024. Their companionship was a source of comfort and joy for him, and it brings peace to know they are reunited once again.

He is survived by his mother, Pamela Padilla, and stepfather Jason Padilla.

Sister Page Salazar, brother-in-law Joseph Salazar and nephew Ezekiel Salazar and many extended family and friends who will carry his memory forward. Eric was preceded in death by his father, Ronald Turner, in 2023.

Eric’s heart was enormous—he gave love freely, lived sincerely, and left an imprint on all who had the honor of knowing him.

Forever loved, forever missed.
