Eric Coleman Gibson, 67, of Shreveport, Louisiana,
went home to his Lord and Savior after a short illness on February 16, 2025,
surrounded by his family. Eric was a follower of Christ, husband of Pamela,
father of Meghann Moriah, and Grandpa to Issac and Ada. He was born in San
Diego, California, and has lived in many places in the U.S. He graduated from
East Granby High School in 1975, and attended University of Connecticut and
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida.
He served in the U.S. Airforce from 1980-1988
where he flew T-37s and T-38s and was an instructor pilot. Additionally, he was
a B-52 Captain at Barksdale Air Force base. After his time in the service, he
flew for Delta Airlines until his retirement in 2020.
Eric played basketball in high school and began
his love of military and flying from his experience serving in the Civil Air
Patrol in Connecticut. He loved worshipping and studying the Bible, spending
time with people; sharing meals, playing games of all kinds, and playing
Pickleball! Eric was competitive in every arena!
He and his wife of 33 years, Pamela, traveled
extensively for work, ministry and pleasure; both across the U.S. and abroad.
Eric was a devoted Bible scholar and teacher of the Word. His favorite subject
was any topic involving God’s laws, promises, and love for humanity. Not only
did he attend Trinity Fellowship in Sharpsburg, Georgia, for 15 years, he was
also involved in Messianic Congregations for the last 20 years.
Eric was predeceased by his parents, Leonard and
Gloria Gibson; his father-in-law, Jerry Elliott; and step-father-in-law, Jim
Ross. He is survived by his wife, Pamela Gibson, daughter and son-in-law,
Meghann Moriah and Caleb Lugar as well as his grandchildren, Issac and Ada
Lugar; his sister and brother-in-law, Stacy and Christopher Harris; his brother
and sister-in-law, Blake and Kelly Gibson; his brother-in-law, Nicholas Elliott
and his wife Anita; his mother-in-law, Doris Ross, and multiple nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers will be Caleb Lugar, Rickey Coker,
David Leech, Jonathan McClendon, Heath Elliott, Randy Harrington, Dave
Simoneau, and Andrew Farrell. Honorary pallbearers will be Nick Elliott and
Kynzer Elliott.
Eric will be missed by many.
