we are so sad to hear of Erik's passing! He had such a bright and infectious personality and it was always a joy to stop and chat when ever he visited the neighborhood. He was a wonderful landlord and an amazing man who will surely be missed!

I'm still stunned at Erik's passing. He was far too young. Erik was a good manager-kind and compassionate-and then became a good friend. We had long talks about many things, and he was more than understanding and caring when problems arose, and his sense of humor was contagious. He is truly missed by me and my housemate, Frank. Prayers for his family members and friends, and I hope they know how much Erik was loved and appreciated. Thank you, Erik, for being one of the best humans I've ever known. God bless.

I only got to meet you one time while I was child sitting my granddaughters. You had came over to pick up Ava my granddaughter to hang out with your daughter. You knew to come in to meet me before taking Ava. That was so respectful of you for a grandma to release my granddaughter to your custody. I think I even thanked you for doing so. I remember you saying that you would be the same way. I know you are so missed by all your loved one's. When Amber & Ava told me of your passing, I too felt such a sadness for your family. Obviously God was ready for you to enter Heavens gates. I feel honored to of met you Erik.
