Samuel "Eric" Finley

February 19, 1977 — January 18, 2025

Taylors, SC

Samuel Eric Finley, known affectionately as Eric to his friends and family, passed away on January 18, 2025, in Taylors, SC. Born on February 19, 1977, in Greenville, SC, Eric was a cherished son, devoted husband, loving father, and a friend to many.

Eric is survived by his adoring wife, Patricia Finley; his beloved daughter, Rachel Finley; his caring mother, Denise Dunlap; and his respected father, Samuel Finley. He leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter with his seven maternal aunts, one paternal uncle, numerous cousins, a close-knit circle of friends, and three sister-in-laws. Eric was predeceased by his paternal grandparents, maternal grandparents, two maternal uncles, and one maternal aunt, all of whom he held dear in his heart.

A man of many interests, Eric's passion for computer games was matched only by his love for craft beers and hot sauces. His musical talents shone through his skillful guitar and bass playing, and his appreciation for science fiction books was well-known among his friends. Eric's love for music, news, TV shows, and engaging in tabletop RPGs and card games brought joy to all who shared in these activities with him.

Eric's intelligence was evident in every aspect of his life, from his quick wit to his thoughtful conversations. His sense of humor was infectious, and he had a unique ability to make those around him laugh. His thoughtful nature made him a confidant and a pillar of support for his loved ones.

Those who knew Eric will remember him as a beacon of light in their lives, a man who could always be counted on for a kind word, a funny joke, or a listening ear. His presence was a comfort, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

As we bid farewell to Eric, we celebrate the life of a man who was not only intelligent and funny but also deeply thoughtful. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, his friends, and all who were touched by his generous spirit. Eric's legacy is one of love, laughter, and the enduring power of human connection. He will be profoundly missed, but the impact of his life will continue to be felt by many.
