With the heaviest of hearts, sadly Erik recently passed away on Wednesday evening January 11th. Erik was a loving son, an inspirational brother, proud father and amazing friend.

Erik was and always will be the strongest person we know. He was much more than the disease that took his life, he inspired so many with his relentless fight to be a better person everyday.

We are all devastated by Erik’s loss and were not prepared for the price of funeral related costs due to financial struggles. We want to give Erik the memorial he deserves, to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes.

Thank you all so much for the support you’ve shown thus far. We are immensely grateful for the abundance of love, prayers and support we have received. Erik will live on through all the love and memories we have of him.
