Eric A. Plummer

Eric Allen Plummer, 44, passed away Saturday, June 19, 2021.

Eric was born December 13, 1976 in Des Moines, Iowa to Richard Allen Plummer and Kimberly Kay (Israel) Plummer.

He enjoyed watching an endless amount of movies, had a deep love for music (particularly vintage vinyl and live concerts), and those who knew him knew he loved nothing more than wandering around the Iowa State Fair every year. If you were lucky enough to know Eric, you also knew he thoroughly enjoyed picking on his younger siblings any chance he got, and spoiling his nieces and nephews rotten.

He loved to make up his own recipes, never making the same dish twice since he never wrote any measurements down. He also loved to write, with one published book under his belt and so many more stories he never got to tell. He was always ready to answer anything with a quick-witted response (often times an inappropriate one). He may have had a tough exterior, but underneath all of that, he would do absolutely anything for those he cared about. He was funny. He was loyal. And he was stubborn to a fault.

He will be missed terribly.

He is survived by his father, Rick (Betty) Plummer; siblings, Heather (Ted) Sly, Steve (Heather) Plummer, Marti (Ian) Monroe; nieces and nephews, Maddy and Kylie Sly, Jax Plummer, Ezra Monroe; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Eric was preceded in death by his mother, Kim Israel; and his grandparents, Blackie and Polly Israel.

There will be a celebration of life Thursday, June 24, 2021 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines. He will be laid to rest at Laurel Hill Cemetery in a private family burial at a later time.

Contributions may be directed to John Stoddard Cancer Center in memory of his mother, Kim.
