Eric Sloan Folmer

Eric Sloan Folmer was born June 3, 1969 in New York City and died March 8, 2017 from cardiopulmonary arrest. A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, March 18th at Brown Chapel on the Centenary College Campus followed by a reception at The Marjorie Lyons Playhouse. Sloan, known for his exceptional talent as an actor won numerous awards for his portrayals on local stages. If he wasn\'t on stage, he was probably running a light board somewhere. He graduated from Captain Shreve High School where he was active in the drama program. He attended Centenary College, LA Tech, and BPPC studying Theatre and Communications. He was currently employed as an administrative assistant at Gilley and Gilley Law Firm. If you ever met Sloan, you\'d never forget him or his unique sense of humor. He was a loyal friend and had a warm, generous heart. A big sports fan, he was an avid supporter of the Chicago Bears - first place or last.

Peavy, and Printice and Lois Darnell, uncles and aunts: Robert Ira Westbrook, MD and wife, Gloria; Max Westbrook and wife Lucille; Gloria Whetstone and husband Rudy, and Carol Folmer.
