Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted people,

It is with the heaviest heart I am sharing the tragic loss of my father, Eric, who suddenly passed away on January 14. My mother, Julia, has the difficult task of managing grief while navigating this next chapter of life. Julia and Eric were married for 30 years and shared a love of bicycling and adventure. Please help us ease the financial burden for Julia while she adjusts to living on a single income and maintaining the home she has lived in Beaverton for the past 11 years.

My dad was so damn funny and smart. He taught me everything I know about bikes, what good music really sounds like, and what good beer tastes like. He always knew how to have a good time and make the best out of any situation. Truly the best father anyone could ask for.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will help Julia with the mortgage and the costs of living expenses after these significant changes and circumstances. We are asking for your help so she can focus on taking care of herself through the healing process.

We are deeply grateful for your help and kindness during this time.

With much love and appreciation,

Julian Roden
