February 3, 1966 – October 31, 2026 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Eric Prater. An accomplished student and athlete, Eric attended Sierra Mountain Intermediate and graduated fifth in his class from Tahoe Truckee High School in 1984. During his school years, he competed in varsity skiing, JV baseball, and basketball, served as Junior Statesmen Vice President, and contributed as a yearbook photographer. Eric is survived by his triplet brothers, Jamie and Gary Prater, and was preceded in death by his parents, Gary Prater and Joan Krause. A private family service will be held at Brant Township Cemetery in Brant, Michigan, where he will be laid to rest alongside his mother, grandparents, and great-grandparents. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
