Friends and loved ones,

My name is Easton Gully,

My sister, Erika Gully, tragically passed away on Saturday, August 23, 2025.

Growing up, Erika was kindhearted, funny, and full of life. We shared a strong bond and a playful sibling rivalry, especially in sports. She was so proud when she won “Best Female Athlete” in elementary school—and even prouder when I followed in her footsteps.

As she grew older, Erika struggled with mental health and addiction. Despite these challenges, her greatest joy came when she became a mother to her son, Michael. Being his mom was the happiest time of her life. She poured all her love into him—reading, playing, and encouraging him every step of the way.

Michael is now 14 years old he is in marching band and orchestra band. He loves video games and is enrolled in honors academic courses. He has aspirations to further his education and continue to pursue band and possibly sports. He is kind and light hearted like his mother.

Erika faced many health challenges, yet she did her best to be present for her family. Through both her brightest and darkest moments, she never stopped showing love.

Because Erika did not have life insurance and was unable to work, we are raising funds to help lay her to rest and honor her memory.

Any donation—or even simply sharing this message—means the world to us.

Thank you for remembering Erika with us.
