Eric Travis Knoll, age 25, of Spring Lake and Lake Ann passed away Saturday, January 31, 2009, at his home in Kalamazoo. He was born July 21, 1983, to Robert and Ginger (Meyers) Knoll in Grand Haven.
Eric was a lifelong resident of both Spring Lake and Lake Ann and was a graduate of Glen Lake High School.

He was preceded in death by his brother Cody Brege and his grandfather Clarence Knoll.
