<div>On April 1, our family lost my brother, Erik, in a tragic and unexpected incident at home. He was only 29 years old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Erik was the kind of person who brought light into every room he walked into. He had a truly contagious, unique laugh that could instantly lift people’s spirits. He loved to have a good time and made sure everyone around him was included in that joy. Whether you knew him for years or had just met him, he had a way of making you feel like a friend.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He loved music and played the guitar, had a passion for tattoos, and spent a lot of time playing video games with friends. Erik built connections everywhere he went, at work, with friends, and even with strangers. He genuinely cared about people and often put others before himself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Erik was my only sibling, and he meant everything to me and my parents. He was deeply loved, and his absence has left a space that can never be filled.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He also battled depression and anxiety for most of his life. Despite that, he kept going, kept trying, and continued to bring joy to others even when he was struggling himself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, our family is facing difficult decisions and unexpected costs, including choosing between cremation or a funeral, as well as other immediate expenses related to this situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for any support during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small, truly means a lot to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In honor of Erik, a portion of the donations will also be given to a nonprofit organization that supports those struggling with depression and anxiety.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, support, and for helping us honor Erik’s life.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>El 1 de abril, nuestra familia perdió a mi hermano Erik en un incidente trágico e inesperado en casa. Tenía solo 29 años.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Erik era el tipo de persona que iluminaba cualquier lugar al que llegaba. Tenía una risa única y contagiosa que podía levantarle el ánimo a cualquiera al instante. Le encantaba pasarla bien y siempre hacía que las personas a su alrededor se sintieran incluidas en esa alegría. Ya fuera que lo conocieras desde hace años o apenas lo hubieras conocido, tenía una forma especial de hacerte sentir como un amigo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amaba la música y tocaba la guitarra, tenía una gran pasión por los tatuajes y disfrutaba mucho jugar videojuegos con sus amigos. Erik hacía conexiones dondequiera que iba, en el trabajo, con amigos e incluso con personas que apenas conocía. Realmente se preocupaba por los demás y muchas veces ponía a otros antes que a sí mismo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Erik era mi único hermano, y significaba todo para mí y para mis padres. Era profundamente querido, y su ausencia ha dejado un vacío imposible de llenar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>También luchó con la depresión y la ansiedad durante gran parte de su vida. A pesar de eso, siguió adelante, siguió intentando, y continuó llevando alegría a los demás incluso cuando él mismo estaba pasando por momentos difíciles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En este momento, nuestra familia enfrenta decisiones difíciles y gastos inesperados, incluyendo decidir entre cremación o un funeral, así como otros gastos inmediatos relacionados con esta situación.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Estamos pidiendo cualquier apoyo durante este momento tan difícil. Cualquier contribución, sin importar la cantidad, significa mucho para nosotros.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En honor a Erik, una parte de las donaciones también será destinada a una organización sin fines de lucro que apoya a personas que luchan con la depresión y la ansiedad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por su apoyo, su cariño y por ayudarnos a honrar la vida de Erik.
</div>
