Cloudy and Cool Ahead

There may be some drizzle/mist/flurries around the area this morning but the bigger story is the cloudy weather. We'll be socked in with low clouds for at least a few days. That will keep temperatures cooler than normal, for this time of year, heading into the weekend.

Approximately 60 of our hospital and clinic staff received the vaccine today, and Dr. Jeffrey Bissing, cardiologist and BCMH Chief of Medical Staff, was among the first.

Updated Obituary - Eric Shane Caldwell

Eric Shane Caldwell, 46, Nevada, MO passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, January 2, 2021 at Nevada Regional Medical Center in Nevada. Eric was born September 27, 1974 in El Dorado Springs, MO to Earl and Joyce (Weaver) Caldwell.

Survivors include his wife, Leray of the home; three children, Erica Caldwell (Levi), and Colton Caldwell, McKenzie Haller (Brock); grandchildren, Gunner, Maureen, Madeline, and Lillith; his parents Earl and Joyce Caldwell; one brother, Justin Caldwell and his son, Owen; two nieces, Hailey Gammon, Kinley Gammon; one nephew, Coby Gammon; several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Eric was preceded in death by his grandparents, Elton and Ellen Caldwell, grandparents, Everett and Naomi Weaver; uncles Terry Caldwell, and Kelly Caldwell; and aunt, Susie Caldwell.

Eric was booted out of high school his senior year by the principal, who told his parents that he thought it was the best thing to do at that time, to keep him away from school, so he did not graduate with his class but he went on to earn his GED which is harder to achieve than graduating from Nevada High School. 

After he got his GED, he enrolled in Missouri Welding Institute, received his welding degree, and went over the road as a Boilermaker Welder working on power plants. After being on the road so much, he came back, worked a few different places, then went to work at an apartment complex with Richard Brockman. Eric and Richard made the decision to strike out on their own and started EZ Home Improvement. EZ was Eric’s “nickname” as a welder. Eric was an ordained minister and performed several weddings. 

Eric truly enjoyed his Harley Davidson motorcycle, riding with his friends as much as possible. Eric also enjoyed working on his “40’s” rad rod. He put a big Cummins motor in it, and his next step was to put a large turbo and blower on it, hoping to have it finished in time for the Bushwhacker Parade so he could be in it if there was going to be one this year. 

Eric was an avid coon hunter, deer hunter, and fisherman. He loved the outdoors! He loved to go mushroom hunting and looking for arrowheads! Eric was a very intelligent and talented person. He could do anything he set his mind to. Eric loved his grandchildren more than anything. He will be deeply missed by all his family and friends.

Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, January 8, 2021 at Ferry Funeral Home in Nevada with Derrick Longan officiating. Interment will follow in Hazel Dell Cemetery in El Dorado Springs. The family will receive friends from 5-7:00 p.m. on Thursday evening at the funeral home.
