Dear Jill, Bill, and family. It was a pleasure to see you again tonight shopping at Ace. Being reminded of your wonderful son Erik and the pleasure of sharing those soccer games so many years ago, I decided to look up Erik’s obituary. Reading the condolences here, I can’t help but note how he touched us all so similarly. While the first thing I recalled when I saw you was his zest for life, energy, smile, and team spirit, his exceptional respectfulness, politeness, and kindness were equally memorable. Your son Erik, truly was, and is, a special kid/young man. I pray that his pain is long since relieved and he now enjoys everyday with our Lord, and that you, his sister, and loved ones, and Erik, are comforted by each other’s love every day.

Eric you will be missed. So glad to have shared time with you, watching you grow up on the soccer field. Always polite, well mannered and a smile that filled the room. Time stops as I search my memories of times when you shined. Till we meet again!

I was Erik's Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry teacher back in 2007 - 2008 and I still remember him being a positive influence in the class and asking good questions. I'm really sorry for your loss and the community's loss.

To Erik's family, I would most definitely fall short trying to find my own words to console you but thought this prayer might help.
God of hope,
we come to you in shock and grief and confusion of heart.
Help us to find peace in the knowledge
of your loving mercy to all your children,
and give us light to guide us out of our darkness
into the assurance of your love,
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

There are many people who come and go in our lives. A few change us in ways that change us forever.....making us better for knowing them. Erik your life was a blessing. I enjoyed working with you and even happier to call you my friend :-). You're so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without. I will never forget your kind heart and beautiful smile.

Erik was a charming, kind, respectful and funny guy. I will always remember the times we spent talking and laughing together at work. While the loss of a loved one is never easy, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us too soon. May your memories of Erik and the love of your family and friends surround you and give you strength and peace in the days ahead. Please accept our deepest sympathies. I will never forget his great smile. Prayers and Hugs.
