Dear friends and supporters,

We are reaching out to you today with heavy hearts and a profound sense of loss. Yesterday, on October 22, 2023, our beloved brother, Erik James Carlson, tragically took his own life. Erik was not only a devoted husband and the proud father of three wonderful boys, but he was also a Marine veteran who bravely served our country. As the oldest of seven siblings, he held a special place in our hearts.

The pain we are experiencing is immeasurable, and as we come to terms with this devastating loss, we are faced with the difficult task of honoring Erik's memory and supporting his family during this incredibly challenging time. We are humbly requesting your assistance as we aim to alleviate the financial needs of Eriks wife and kids and travel expenses associated with saying our final goodbyes to our dear brother.

Erik was a pillar of strength, resilience, and dedication. He had a deep love for his family and an unwavering commitment to his duties. It is our hope that, through your generosity, we can provide a proper farewell for Erik and support his wife and children as they navigate the difficult road ahead.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in easing the financial strain on Erik's family. Your support will help cover the funeral and memorial service costs, as well as assist with travel expenses for family members who need to be present during this solemn time.

We understand that not everyone may be in a position to contribute financially, but your thoughts, prayers, and messages of support are equally valuable during this time of mourning. Kindly share this campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues who might be moved to lend a helping hand.

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your compassion, empathy, and willingness to stand by us during this devastating time. Together, we can honor Erik's memory, support his grieving family, and ensure that his legacy lives on in the hearts of those who loved him.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love and appreciation,

The Carlson Family
