It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking loss of Erik Harris, who passed away unexpectedly in a tragic accident. On June 3rd, our lives changed forever. Elizabeth and her three children - Gisele, Carter and Vada - are facing an unimaginable loss.

Erik was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished son & brother, loyal friend and so much more. His family was the center of his world. He worked to give his family the best life he could. His sudden passing has left an unimaginable void in the lives of his family.

Elizabeth is doing her best to stay strong for her children, while facing the heavy emotional and financial weight of losing Erik. As the family navigates this devastating loss, they are also facing financial challenges. In addition to funeral expenses, Liz must now manage household costs, and the day-to-day needs of raising three children on her own.

This loss comes at a particularly difficult moment for the family. In just a few weeks, their daughter Gisele will graduate from high school and prepare to begin her college journey. An accomplishment that Erik was incredibly proud of and eagerly looking forward to celebrating. Along with the emotional weight of losing Erik, Elizabeth is now facing the substantial financial responsibilities that come with preparing for college and the future they both envisioned for their children.

We are asking for support to help ease some of the financial burden during this incredibly difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping the family maintain stability and provide for the children's needs as they adjust to life without their husband and father.

Please support Liz, Gisele, Carter and Vada during this incredibly difficult time. Every donation, share, and prayer will make a difference. Your love and generosity means more than words can express.

Services will be held at St. Jude the Apostle Church in Wynantskill.

Wednesday, 6/10: Calling hours from 4:00–7:00 PM
