Noblesville, Indiana

God has called home another angel to his side. Eric John Dawson, 53 passed on April 1, 2025, around 3:25pm. at IU Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Eric was born February 2, 1972, in Terre Haute, Indiana to Michael Noel Dawson Sr. and Karen Lee (Elleman) Dawson. He is preceded in death by his parents, Mother-in-Law Linda (Monrial) Shaw, Brother Michael Noel Dawson II, Grandparents, Noel and Helen Dawson, Delbert Theodore and Marguerite Elleman, Aunt Yvonne (Dawson) Brown, and Uncle Delbert Ted Elleman Jr. He graduated from Broken Arrow High School in Oklahoma and went on to study Business and Marketing at Indiana State University. He spent most of his professional career as a restaurateur and later transitioned into the shipping and distribution industry. Just as his dry sense of humor and direct candor were unmistakable, his sincerity and authenticity made him beloved. He was an avid thrill ride enthusiast, movie goer and music fan and enjoyed attending local sporting events, amusement parks, and music concerts. He loved his family and is survived by his wife Diana Shaw-Dawson, and two sons, Joshua Ryan Dawson and Nicholas Andrew Dawson, Brother Patrick Arlyn and his wife Kara Dawson, his sister Kelsi Wilson, Father in law Gary Shaw, Sisters in law Crystal Shaw (Kris), Shelly Scott (Stewart), Kelly Andrews (Tyman), Brother in law Michael Shaw (Polly), Aunt Marylou and Uncle John Summers, several nieces and nephews, and many cousins. We will celebrate his life and most certainly mourn his passing with a celebration of life event on Saturday April 12th at Flanner Buchanan - Hamilton Memorial Park (Prairie Waters) located at 4180 Westfield Road in Westfield, IN from 11:00 am – 7:00 pm.
