Erica Salizar Obituary

SALIZAR
Erica Salizar leaves behind her mother, a sister, two brothers and numerous nieces and nephews all of which she loved unconditionally. She also leaves behind an international community privileged to be graced with her presence, influence, passion, success, humor, and most importantly her love. Undeniably, a pioneer, her accolades and achievements will forever resonate as a contribution to her community's cause and progress. While her influence and entertainment will forever be discussed and remembered, to know her one would know she simply pursued her passion. Effortlessly, she took everyone's breath away and commanded attention with her incomparable beauty. With great pleasure she mesmerized and served countless crowds through her mastery of illusion. Her love for the community can only be paralled to the love she received from her community. Surpassing expectations and leaving behind shattered boundaries Erica Andrews' legacy will be forever be defined by professionalism, the pursuit of passion, and the love and adoration for those around her. In her very brief life she managed to reach an iconic status, a life abundant with achievement, all because of her passion to not only find her true self but to love herself unconditionally, opening the door for countless individuals to pursue the same passion comfortably and with confidence because of the path forged by Erica, who did so with such grace, dignity and clarity that forever a community has been changed and redefined.

A Candle Light Vigil and Remembrance Ceremony will be held at Crockett Park on March 28th from 7pm-9pm. There will be a Mariachi for her at 8pm. We want to invite everyone to attend especially her friends and fans from all over the country!!!.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I never expected this. I am not in the loop with the information and had no idea you were this ill. I see images and I think you are somewhere on an island - retired with your man. But then I know the truth and miss your spirit on our World, in our community. The light you projected is far from being duplicated yet and probably never will. You are sincerely missed.

An ICON to so many around the nation, but to me a sincere true friend. I will always remember the Bar-Be-Que you threw for me for my birthday a short time after we began working with each other. Our chemistry was the best and you always knew if I was around any show you grabbed me from out of no where and told everyone that I would run the music behind the show because you knew that you at the mic and me behind the CD players the show would run smoothly as a baby's bottom. I am truly going to miss you ever so much. I am blessed that GOD brought into my life for a short time. But within that short time, I truly had the best time of my life with you around. And now Erica, "Fly! Fly high against the sky. So high I almost touched the sky. Thank You! Thank You! Thank GOD for you Erica.....The Wind Beneath My Wing"

Rest In Peace Now Friend! For You Are Alongside Your Family In Heaven....Your Father....Raphael.....Your Mother Tandi.....and Your Sister Ariel...Reunited once again in Heaven.

I Love You and Miss You So Much...But You Will Never Ever Be Forgotten.

Some people are destined for greatness. I could see this in you decades ago. Sadly some of the brightest stars burn out too fast, too soon. Selena, Janis, Jimi Hendricks, Tandi and now yourself. Sister, you left on the top! Peak of your Career with a great future onstage. No one will be able to fill the void left by your passing but then, like Selena, no one should try. Goodbye friend. xoxo Beth and Skip

She was an amazing person and loved her friends and family dearly!! Every time I would see her, she would always have a smile on her face, not one time did I ever see her without a smile!! I am pleased to have meet such a wonderful person!! The Lord now has another wonderful talented amazing angel with wings!!
Erica May you forever fly in the words of the Lord!! God Bless till me meet again!!
My love is your love & your love is my love!!

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day. You my friend will always have a sacred place in my heart because you are the reason I stayed strong in the most difficult times. I love you so much and will see you soon! ILY Mammis Pippis please come visit me in my dreams and let bring that smile you always brought.

I met Erica when I was just 18 years old, I was a bartender at a Downtown San Antonio Bar, Erica would come and visit me almost every weekend, sit at the bar and we would laugh and joke. It is hard to imagine that is she is no longer with us. May she forever rest in peace and she undoubtedly will never be forgotten and here legacy will live on forever. God Bless!!

I originally met Erica in 1998 when I was only 18. Everytime I ran into her she was so sweet and loving. Throughout the years we remained friends and I helped her start the Tandi Andrews tribute page on both MySpace and Facebook. Everytime she would come into town we would visit with each other and have a wonderful time. She was superbly beautiful in everyway and will never be forgotten. "Love you gorgeous!"
