Eric Jay Wentzel, 53, of Reading, passed away Saturday, May 8, 2021 in the Reading Hospital.  Born in Reading, he was the son of Barry Wentzel and Pamela Jo Cwiklinski.

Eric enjoyed fishing, going to the beach, and cars.  He loved reading the Bible, watching documentaries, cheering for the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Flyers, and drinking Mountain Dew.  His daughter, Charisma, remembers getting out of the house and having fun with her dad whether it was flying kites or going fishing.  Eric always knew how to have a good time and cherished memories made at parties and family gatherings.  He loved his family dearly and never held judgement against them.

Wentzel, and his half-sister, Jennifer Ormsbee.  He is also survived by his aunts, Linda Focht, Irene Lyczek, and Jess Cwiklinski, the mother of his children whom he shared a great friendship with, Alicia Morales, and good friend, Jeann Pilconis-Leh, who helped raise his children.
