We are Sandy and Derek Rinehart. Early Sunday morning February 5, 2023, our world stopped. Our sweet, loving son Erik Alan Rinehart passed away at home, where he lives with his brother and very best friend Skyler. The grief is indescribable for us and our family. We miss our baby boy beyond words, with his beautiful blue eyes and a big smile! All those that have known Erik or have had the pleasure of meeting him just one time know what a thoughtful, caring gentleman he was. Always taking time to make sure everyone was OK and safe. His heart and soul had only Love to give. We never parted without secure hugs (not just one) and I love you said 100x.

Erik loved the outdoors, sports, and music, but mostly his family, friends and pets, immensely. We have no doubt he was our firstborn to look after those he loved, especially his younger sisters, Ashley and Brianna and his younger brother Skyler. Now that he is with Jesus, he has a heaven's view to watch over everyone until we are together again. Erik deserves to be honored for all the good, love and smiles he spread wherever he went. For this, our family needs help with his funeral, memorial and related expenses. Our heartfelt appreciation and we thank you for taking the time to read just a little bit about our son Erik and how much he is loved and will be missed by so many!
