Erik, (family) You were a great friend, leader and role model. You saw my strengths and challenged me to grow upon them, you saw my weaknesses and to helped me strengthen from them. I always remember you drive and your charismatics attitude- thank you for being part of my life I was honored to be part of yours. Michael C. Barranco

Erik, you were a great leader and great friend. I am so blessed to have been able to serve with you. I will cherish my memories and pictures. My prayers of comfort go out to Paula and your girls.

Erik, I am deeply saddened by the news of your passing. My heart and prayers go out to your lovely wife Paula and your three awesome children. It was such an honor to have served with you in the Marines and I will never forget all those nights we spent on the flight deck of the USS Constellation just laughing and talking about our hopes and dreams. The world has lost a good friend, husband and father. I know you are in heaven with that sheepish grin thrasing yourself with those crazy PT...

Please accept my prayers and condolences on your loss. I pray that Paula, Caitlin, Taelor and Lexi can find strength and comfort during these difficult times.

Erik,
Words can't express how sorely missed you will be. Your legacy will live on in Caitlin, Taelor, and Lexi. May God comfort and heal them and Paula as they live each day one at a time. You will never be forgotten.
In Christ,
The McHenry Family
