Eddie Van Tassel

FEBRUARY 13, 1943 (St. John, N.B., Canada) - FEBRUARY 9, 2008

Mr. "VANTASTIC" is GONE!

The VanTastic Ed Van Tassel has gone to the next dimension. (as he would say)

Eddie passed on Saturday afternoon in his home on 399 Wyola Rd in Santa Barbara, he was 64.

He left us as we all would hope, in the bedroom he shared with his Beautiful wife of 35 years
the effervescent Patty. Just 2 Hours earlier he was laughing & full of LIFE!

His passing was unexpected & immediate. He left us as he lived.
Happy, Healthy & as a beacon of PURE positive energy.

He is survived by his lovely wife Patty, his mother in-law Connie Fuentes. His 4 children; The bohemian Tria, the focused Virginia "Ginnie", the free spirit Krystle and his son the silent searcher Eddie "Van" Jr. His 2 unofficial sons Isaac & Randy & 5 GRATEFUL LOVING grandchildren Ceano, Cearra, Isaiah, Talya, & Elijah

He will be missed, ALWAYS LOVED & NEVER FORGOTTEN.
For Service info, contact McDermott-Crockett Mortuary 800-842-5241 or Patty at 456-9588.
