In the early morning of June 2, 2024, the family of Erik C. Cox (age 18) experienced the most devastating event in their life. Erik's young life was tragically taken while changing his flat tire on the shoulder of the Eisenhower Expressway. Erik was full of life and had everything going for him. He had graduated from Rolling Meadows High School 2 weeks ago and was preparing to attend Columbia College in the fall to study graphic design. Erik was intelligent with a great sense of humor and very personable. His friend group was larger than anyone I know. Everyone loved Erik.

We ask our families, friends, and the community to help us support Erik's family with funeral expenses during this difficult time. Any donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference while the family copes with this tragedy.

Please continue to keep Erik's family in your thoughts and prayers. We send a big thank you in advance.
