Eric grew up in Alvin, TX and was the youngest of his two siblings Tre and Mindy. He attended school in Alvin until the 10th grade but proudly obtained his GED later on. It was during this time, Eric married Dondra Edwards on December 17, 1993. While married to Dondra Edward’s, his first son, Brandon (12-20-1993), was born. This marriage didn’t last and Eric started a relationship with Katherine Kennedy. Unfortunately, during this time, Eric was convinced, against his better judgment, to give up his parental rights to his son Brandon. Fortunately, Dondra’s husband Randy Stang became Brandon’s father, and Dondra and Randy provided a loving home for Brandon. A home that allowed Brandon to grow into the awesome husband and loving father he is today. It should be mentioned that although Eric’s legal rights for Brandon didn’t exist, his love never ended. In fact, no matter how many things Eric went through, he always carried the last photo of Brandon in his wallet along with many memories in his heart. As mentioned above, Eric was in a relationship with Katherine Kennedy, whom he married on August 3, 2000, into this union came a son named Dylan (7-21-1998). A son that Eric was always proud of, a son that Eric never stopped loving, even during times when he wasn’t able to make contact with Dylan. Unfortunately, this marriage also failed and Eric and Kathy later divorced.

Eric was a member of the outlaw biker club The Last Few until 2007, in fact he was the youngest national sergeant at arms for this club. He then moved back home with his parents who lived in Mineral Wells, TX. Throughout his life up to this point, Eric lived in many towns all over Texas and worked as a welder or as an electrician apprentice.

The job Eric loved most was being a father. He cherished every moment he had with both of his sons. As life moved along, on December 2, 2008, Eric met the love of his life Mildred (Millie). This was a match made in heaven ultimately setup by both of their moms, thanks to e-Harmony. On June 13, 2009, they were married in El Reno, OK, after a short stint of living in Mineral Wells, TX and Graham, TX until November 1, 2010 when they made their home in Cheyenne, OK. Eric loved living in Cheyenne, and he loved being a part of the Jencks clan. During this time, he was allowed to flourish and truly figure out what he wanted in life. It was also during this time that Dylan came back to live with his Dad. Eric was extremely proud of what Dylan has accomplished in Cheyenne. It was about 2 years ago that Brandon contacted Eric, and they started to re-establish their relationship. The happiest time of Eric’s recent years is the day he and both of his sons got to spend together.

Eric was a jack of all trades and worked as a handy man while he was in Cheyenne. He could not only fix almost anything, was not only the best welder around but he was also known for his kind heartiness, he helped anyone in need. Eric loved the concept of “pay it forward”. Eric’s happiest place though was driving a tractor, any tractor doing any job, as long as he was on a tractor. He enjoyed working for Lippencott Farms because it allowed him to not only be on that tractor, but it allowed him to be a part of a second loving family, and it allowed him lots of time to spend with his best friends, John Lippencott and Scott Beavin. He was honored to work for Steve Lippencott and told his wife that several times. In addition to the jobs he loved, he truly loved riding motorcycles and tinkering around with anything he could take apart and reassemble. His biggest hobby though was fishing; he loved going fishing with his buddy Scott Beavin.

He is preceded in death by his parents Charles and Maxine Teague, and Grandmother Delores (Rose) Hibbs, and one grandchild Bryer.

Eric is survived by his wife of the home Mildred Teague; two sons Brandon Stange and wife Baylie of Rosharon, TX and their children Saia, Cadence, and Brynn; and Dylan Teague and wife Shaylie of Cheyenne, OK and their daughter Madelynn; longtime friends John Lippincott and Scott Beavin; one brother Tre Baichtal and sister Mindy Teague; nieces, nephews, extended family and a host of friends.
