With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Eric Rairden on April 24th, 2026 at the young age of 65. He was a loving husband of Shirley Ho Rairden; his sons and spouses Ian (and Alix) and Bryce (and Stephanie); and his grandchildren Nolan, Elliott and Carter. He is also survived by his siblings and spouses David (and Marlene) and Brenda (and Dave) in addition to many nephews and nieces.
He was loved by the entire Ho Family as a wonderful Son In Law, Brother In Law, Uncle and Grand-uncle.
He ran his own company (LanPro Inc ) for over 20 years and during that time made many, many lifelong friendships that he treasured. He loved tinkering with supercharging cars, collecting antique furniture and antique Roseville pottery to name a few.
We will not be holding a service and burial at this time, but will hold a Celebration Of Life event later in the year.
He was a 12 year surviving Metastatic Melanoma Cancer Patient at the Memorial Cancer Institute in Hollywood FL where he received exceptional care and love from the doctors and staff.
In lieu of flowers, if anyone would like to make a donation in his memory - the family would like it to be made to the Memorial Foundation designated specifically to the Memorial Cancer Institute so it can carry on its mission in treating and curing cancer.
