Erik Tycksen is so loved and will be greatly missed by his friends and family. He was passionate about singing, performed in theater, and always tried to make his brothers laugh. He had a big contagious smile and a heart of gold. He served in the US Air Force as a Medic, Chaplain and Military Police Officer in North Dakota and England. He also toured Iraq and Kuwait. Erik's favorite things included mustaches, Star Wars, Zelda, and long fantasy novels. Most of all, he loved his family, especially his three adorable kids. Funds will go toward funeral expenses and helping with his children’s futures.
