Eric Polanco

August 23, 1964 — March 9, 2025

Eric Polanco, 60, a resident of Cape Coral, Florida and Fort Myers, FL for a great part of his life, formerly of Belize, passed away Sunday, March 9th, 2025, in Cape Coral. He was born August 23rd, 1964, in Belize to Elides Polanco, now deceased and Juana Polanco of Cape Coral and Belize.

Eric was of the Catholic faith. He learned to be handy by shadowing his father around the farm from a young age. In high school he played the drums, the fife, and the trumpet, which explains why he would always walk around the house singing out loud the lyrics of any band that was heavy on the horns, much to his sibling’s delight. Although he loved to read books on physics by Isaac Asimov, and pilot small aircrafts when he could, he preferred to work with his hands which led him to become a General Contractor. Everyone was always welcome at his home. In life he always gave more than he expected to be given, which is why he is now in God’s glory.

In addition to his mother, he is also survived by his beloved wife of 32 years, Blanca Polanco of Cape Coral; two children, Luis “Aaron” Pena and Eric “Jacob” Polanco both of Cape Coral; three siblings, Lourdes Sarria and husband Victor also of Cape Coral, Guillermo Polanco and wife Marissa of Naples, FL and Ady Cisneros and husband Oscar of Savannah, GA; as well as seven nieces and nephews, Vanessa, Alyssa, Mia, Victor Jr., Sebastian, Samuel, and Gabriel.
