I never knew Lamont, but just knew that he had to be a very special man to win over the heart of my dear friend and former roommate at BYU, Deborah. Deborah, I´ve moved back to Utah and have gotten together with Emily, Melissa, Sonja & Jules several times over the last 8 months. We have talked of the fact that we would really love it if you could join us next time! We loved having you as a roommate and hope to catch up with you soon! Kathleen

Lamont was such a dear friend to me for many years. We share a lot of fond memories during our single years that I will always remember. He was uncommon and exceptional in so many ways. I feel so blessed and fortunate to have had such a wonderful influence in my life because of his friendship. He has definitely made a mark in my life and in the lives of my family. A mark that will never be forgotten.

When I learned of Dr. Ericson's illness and that he would not be caring for my eyes any longer, I was very saddened. He was a very special physician and I appreciated the time he took to educate me on my condition and provide the best of care. God bless him and his family.

I knew Lamont from days long past. We were in the Pacific Beach Singles Ward together. He was an essential part of a fantastic group of very "fun friends" whom I shall always remember and keep close to my heart. My memories of Lamont are filled with laughter and great conversation. I am truely gratefull to have known him. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

Debbie, children, my Ericson cousins, Uncle Marshall,
We were so touched at the funeral by the many people in attendance, the beautiful displays of Lamont's life, and the video presentation with music. What a darling father, husband, and sweet man. I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how difficult it has been for you all. I can only add my testimony to those already shared that I believe that Lamont is in paradise with his mother, and others who have passed on before, and that you will all one day have such a beautiful reunion with him. I am grateful for the eternal nature of families, and feel so fortunate for our family ties to the Ericson clan. We wish we saw you all more often. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. MUCH LOVE, Elizabeth (Manning) and David McCombs and children.

I know that my sister,and Lamont's mother, Barbara will be concerned about you and the children Debbie. Heaven's influence will be there for you as needed. We take great comfort, as we yet grieve, that life is but a moment in eternity. We will all be together again in that great family relationship.
In one of the several phone conversations Lamont and I had during his illness, one stands out in my mind. Lamont had designed his own therapy for the pancreatic cancer he was battling. The oncologist looked it over and Lamont told me he said "I see nothing wrong with this course of treatment". He had an intelligence about him that would challenge the best. I love him. You were so strong during the viewing and the funeral. I admire your example. His funeral was the largest that I have ever attended. That is a testament to his wonderful, but short mortal life. We pray for you and the children Debbie. I know you will find strength in the gospel and the love and respect we all have for you.

My dear friend Deborah,
I'm so sorry to hear about Lamont. Although I never knew him, I feel like I do a little more so now, after having read the other wonderful entries in the guest book. I always knew that the kind of man you would marry would be the best of the best, and this has been confirmed to me by the sentiments of others. I am so sorry for your loss Deborah. I wish that I lived closer so that I could be more available for you, if you need help in any way. But please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you or your sweet children. You were such a fun coworker at the Health Center, and then a wonderful roommate at BYU - I will never forget the fun we had, or the wonderful example that you were to me!

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered
“Come To Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away,
And although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay,
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
Our Prayers and thoughts are with your family and friends. Your were a great Doctor.

Debbie-
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your sweet children. I was so sorry to get the word of Lamont's passing. What an amazing person and an amazing fight! I wish Shawn and I had not been out of the country so we could attend the services and celebrate his great life with you. You have been so strong and positive and an amazing example of faith to me. Please know that I stand available to help you in any way I can and you need. With love-

Wow, what do you say that could do justice for this mountain of a man I knew? He holds a special place in my heart that will never be replaced, and I am a better person for knowing him. He truly touched my life, and I owe my very happiness to him and his wisdom and faith. Thanks so much for sharing with me Lamont, who knows where I'd be!
I am one of the blessed to be able to call you my friend!
As Always,

It is clear that Lamont touched many lives. Are we not all better people for having known him? I knew Lamont from Singles Wards and I was humbled by his deep knowledge of the Gospel and of our Savior's love.
Among many trips that some of us from the Single's Ward took, I will always remember when we went to Australia and New Zealand. Sydney Harbor Bridge Climb, scuba diving on The Great Barrier Reef and staying in a tree house. What fun memories. I consider myself lucky to have known such a great man as Lamont. I hope that the sustaining power of our Savior's love will help his little family through the days and weeks ahead. He is a good man and his influence on us will not be forgotten.
May we all sit down together in Heaven and be taught and uplifted by Lamont again! God bless.

We would like to send our condolences. Our family met Lamont when he was just a little kid when we lived in Baumholder,Germany. Although it is hard for the family left behind, it is wonderful to know that families will be reunited. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Debbie, Aspen & Marshall,
My thoughts & prayers continue to be with you and your family at this difficult time. I have known Lamont for over 8 years and have been truly blessed to have had him as my friend. He was a great Dr. to work with and a wonderful man to know. I will miss his stories, sense of humor and his sincere compassion for others. I will also miss getting together often as friends and having our "Happy Lunch Club" with Lamont and some of the other dear friends from the office. It gave us the chance to stay friends and remain close even after we left the office to be full-time moms. I will cherish the many memories and special moments always. We had such great and fun times together, and I feel so honored and blessed to call him my friend.
I know how much he loved you Debbie and how he loved being a dad to little Aspen and Marshall. "HE" will be missed, loved and always remembered in my heart and "YOU" and the kids in my prayers.
With love,

Deb & Family,
Thank you so much for sharing Lamont with me. I have never had my life touched in the way that Lamont has touched mine in the last few months. I have always felt a strong kinship with Lamont from the day that I met him during the med school days. It has been such an honor to be able to be there to help him and serve him until the end. There is a big empty spot in my heart which I'm sure will always be there. Deb, thank you so much for being my friend. Somehow we'll muddle through this-I'll always be here for you. Knowing what a laser-brain Lamont was, I think that God must have needed him because he had a difficult question that he couldn't figure out. I say this with a smile on my face. Lamont, thank you for helping me to really understand what it truly means to love thy brother. My life will never be the same because of what you have taught me.
All of my love,
Marcie

Dear Ericson Family,
I am saddened to hear about Lamont's passing and I want you to know that you are all in my prayers at this difficult time.
I have had the great pleasure to know Lamont as a friend and as one of his patients. I admired him for so many great qualities he possessed. He was very professional and concerned about my well-being as a patient. I felt so lucky to be treated by such a brilliant, confident, respectful and whitty physician, who was also a dear friend!
I always felt uplifted after being around Lamont, as well as challenged to learn more about whatever we had discussed. He was an amazing gospel scholar and teacher who lived a Christ-like life and exemplefied the true joy that is available to all through gospel living.

Dear Debbie,
As a family, we are greatful for your faith and strength.
When Grandpa Hayward left this life (way too early), he left grandma and two little girls and a legacy of medicinal formulas behind. Later, Grandma Nellie, from the other side,softened your fall from the two story window.
We know your family heritage has laid the foundation for your work on this earth.
Your family tree has started now,
With branches you and LaMont began.
You'll never let your little twigs forget who they really are.
For they are a part of a tree so strong, it reaches high into the sky.
And with your faith we all will know
The beautiful answer to why?
We're glad to be a part of the same tree. Love, Aunt Dee, Uncle Bill and family.

Dear Debbie, Aspen,and Marshall,
Lamont was a really great uncle to me. He was always happy when I was around him and when we were visiting. He was always encouraging to me to do great things in my life, to aquire the knowledge I needed. He was a great role model. The memories that I have with him are some that I charish all the time. I will always look up to him and the wonderful things he has done and acomplished in his life. Some things I loved about Lamont was that he was always wiling to try new things and always, always happy and loving to all those around him. I tell some friends about how he was with me and they all are very supportive to his beautiful family. Lamont was a man who was honest and always kept his word to me. One thing I will never forget is when I saw him, his unwavering courage was addictive, his knowledge of the profound and really complicated things was unbelievable. I saw his courage and strength and could not help but to have courage and strength also, it was so strong.
Lamont, I love and miss you everyday.

Deb, Aspen and Marshall,
Our thoughts and prayers have been with you and will continue. We met Lamont over 11 years ago and have been truly blessed to have him as a partner and a friend. Lamont has blessed so many lives in the years he was able to practice. We had great confidence in his abilities and skills as a surgeon. We appreciated that he was a man of integrity and spirituality. This past year we have felt a great void without him in the office. Lamont always had a great sense of humor. We had many great and fun times together. Halloween and running the Snake River just won't be the same. Lamont was genuinely caring and compassionate. He would often cheer you on and offer a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on when needed. We heard about his dating process and we were so happy when Lamont found you. We know how deeply he loved you. When Aspen and Marshall came along, you could not find a more excited and proud dad. He was a very fortunate man. You make an amazing family!
Please remember that we are here for you any time day or night. May you continue to be blessed with peace and the tender mercies of our Heavenly Father. Families Are Forever... We Love You,
Rob and Terrie Treft

Lamont was one of the most amazing people I ever worked for. His employees always came first, and he would do anything for us. My most treasured memory is when Dr Treft went out of town and we closed the office for the afternoon (without Dr Treft knowing,of course)and we played "hookie". He took all of us out to lunch to spend the day with him. It was awesome. Lamont, you will always be in my heart forever.

I will never forget the first time I met Lamont at a party in San Diego. He was standing in the middle of the room telling a hilarious story about residency life. Everyone was literally on the floor laughing, including me. I will never forget his sense of humor or his love for mankind. My prayers are with you Erickson family.

Lamont was a spiritual giant who did not know all of the lives he toched. He was kind, gentile and without gile. He was a friend, a mentor and a leader. He was brilliant yet humble. My family and I will miss him dearly. What a wonderful day it will be to see him again. We love you Lamont. All of our love and prayers go out to your beautiful wife Debbie and the children.

I will never forget the summer that Lamont stayed with our family. It was so much fun to have him around. Our family still recalls that summer with fond memories. Lamont was a truly special person. I will never forget his smile and great love for everyone he knew. I was truely blessed to grow up having Lamont as my "other brother". We love you, Lamont.

Lamont was not only brilliant, he was kind, thoughtful, and absolutely hilarious. His funny sense of humor and shear love of life made even the grouchiest person smile. Never in my life had I ever met someone that could light up the room faster than Lamont. He was professional, but very warm. Everyone flocked to be around him. Not only did his friends, family, and co-workers love him, his patients did too. In my brief two year stay at MVEC, I witnessed many lives saved by this extraordinary man. He was an inspired human being, and for that, many lives were touched. Including mine.
Debbie, my heart truly goes out to you and your family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Lamont was a wonderful person. It's no wonder he picked such a lovely woman to marry. So kind and sweet...and strong. Please know that your Heavenly Father loves you. Turn to Him...he will carry you through this hard time. You are not alone.
Love,
Natalie, Bryan, Conner, Katie, and Brooke Langford.

Lamont is one of the most wonderful people I have ever known. After working with him for almost 5 years I have come to know that he was always giving to people, not only his great service to his patients at Mountain View Eye Center, but to his employees and friends. He gave service, time, friendship and love to so many. He performed my eye surgery of which I will treasure not only for the wonderful sight I have, but a small part of Lamont I can carry with me forever.
Lamont, You were my friend and a great example to me.
I will always treasure knowing you.
Love you

I don't know your family but I was moved by the obitiuary. My husband too was diagnoised with pancreatic cancer on 3/22/07 and we have two very young children so I am going through some tough emotional times for their sake. My heart goes out to you three and will keep a prayer in my heart that Heavenly Father will constantly be there in comfort and love.

I will always be grateful for Lamont. When he was a resident at UCSD, my mother was losing her sight. She was a widow and scared to go to the doctor. I asked Lamont to look at her, and In spite of his busy schedule he took time to help a widow who happened to be my mother. It was only after his gentle encouragement was she able to have the courage to have surgery. He will be missed.

What can you say about someone as unique as Lamont? He was one-of-a-kind. We first met at BYU, then spent four of the best years of our lives in medical school. Lamont had a tremendous love of learning and as a result, he was a natural teacher. Just being around him made you want to work a little harder. He loved the outdoors, and particularly the road-less-traveled. We will miss him, and think of him often. Our hearts and prayers go out for Debbie and the kids, but we are comforted in knowing that very few people have gotten so much out of life in far too short a time.

Though I won't be able to attend this weekend in person, I will be with you in spirit. My deepest condolences to a family that has endured two poignant losses close together.

I knew Lamont for a brief period at BYU, but have many happy memories. Mainly I remember how he made me and all others around laugh and enjoy life. I also remember his good and kind heart. I am saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family he has left behind.
Brian Davis

I think that God needed Lamont back with him to perform some important work that only he could do. I met Lamont as a fellow Ophthalmology resident at UCSD and afterward at a single's ward in the Mount Olympus area. He was a great person with a quick wit and a stunning intellect. I will look forward to seeing him again. My most heart-felt prayers go out to Debbie and his children. May God bless and comfort you.

Our last email from Lamont was around Christmas, and full of his usual wit. He expressed his gratitude for his family and his health and thoughtfully asked about our 7 year old, who still remembers "the eye doctor who made me laugh." Lamont, the Lord must truly need you on the other side -- you will do amazing work there as you did here.

Dear Ericson family,
I am so deeply sorry and saddened by the loss of a truly great man. I have not had the privelage of spending time wtih Lamont as a grown man, but have many wonderful memories of my cousin during our younger years. He always made me laugh and seemed to always have a twinkle in his eye. He also had the gift of compassion and was always so sincere and genuine. I always knew he was destined for greatness and hearing about all he has accomplished with his time here on earth just confirms my feelings about him. My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you.

Lamont was a master teacher. At the University of Utah 6th Ward we used to pack into his Sunday School Class because we knew that he would teach us the Gospel in a way that challenged our minds and strengthened our testimonies. Lamont pulled relevant, meaningful and touching lessons from even the most obscure Bible story (Balaam and his talking donkey remains my all time favorite Lamont lesson!) I have no doubt of the glorious reunion that took place when this master teacher was reunited with the Master Teacher. To Deborah, Aspen and Marshall, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I will always remember fondly the philosophical discussions with Lamont about not-so-deep topics, either while playing Risk or hiking in the Grand Canyon. Lamont had a keen insight and a sincere compassion for others, and did not let his learning interfere with his relationship with God. I am a better man for having known Lamont.

Lamont was a wonderful friend. He was caring and generous and so very witty! I have great memories of skiing with him, of him teaching us all to develop our own film, being in an investment club with him (he was the teacher, we were kind of there for the food) and funny memories of many trips. He taught great lessons, dedicated my first home and gave me a wonderful blessing when I needed help with a career decision. Best of all he gave me sight. I'll think of him every day when I don't have to put contacts in! Debbie, our hearts are with you and the kids.

Just hearing the name Lamont brings a smile to my face. I can hear his contagiuos laugh in my mind, and I conjure up visions of some of the spectacular feats he accomplished in this life. What a marvelous mixture of humor, uncanny intelligence, humility, ingenuity, warmth and love exuded from this man! We are all blessed to have known him and will continue to be. Bravo Lamont, for living your life as we all should, and for leaving such a magnificent legacy for all of us to remember. Thank you!

My favorite memories of Lamont are of the holiday we spent in Australia and New Zealand. It says a lot about his personality, that after a week with 5 people in a camper/van in New Zealand, I still enjoyed his company! My heart goes out to you. Lamont will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.

Lamont was a truly wonderful ophthalmologist and surgeon who cared deeply and selflessly about his patients. This was quite clear even as he was doing his residency with us at UCSD, which is why we were all so devastated when we heard of his illness. We are all thinking of Debbie, the children and the other members of his family at this time. We all remember him as a very special individual.

We just wanted to let you know how much we love and are thinking of you at this time. Lamont was One of A Kind. For all those who knew him, loved and admired the qualities and the spirit that he had. He was such an example in every aspect.
I have never been apart of such hope,fasting and prayers as our neighborhood,community and certain family and others came together believing in one thing. A Miracle!
I know that you gained many tender miracles throughout this entire time and I know for Certain that he was truly needed else where or He would still be with us today! I know as Lamont does that Families are Eternal. We love you, Shaun and Kristilyn Farr

Lamont was a fun, intelligent, generous friend. He had a great sense of humor, add that to his intelligence and it made him fun to be around. He was always teaching, through simple ways. I treasure the memories of his friendship and the things I learned from him. He had great love and concern for people and his family. May the Lord bless his family as you go through this difficult time.

Lamont was one of a kind. Although his intelligence and talents are beyond belief, his friendship and personality were admired and loved by all that were honored to know him. He exuded love, understanding and patience both professionally and socailly. He will be greatly missed but a fine example to follow.
Melissa Mower

I do not mean to sound trite when I say that Lamont was truly one of the best people I have ever known. Around him I always laughed, left feeling like I learned something, and I definitely wanted to be a better person simply based on him as a person. He made just about anything seem possible with some work. He expressed to me once that he had been blessed with so much in his life that what would he in turn be saying to Heavenly Father if he did not essentially pay it forward. And he did - genuinely. I will never forget him sitting at Huntsman Cancer Institute receiving chemo, yet taking nearly an hour of his time to advise my fiance about medical school - laughing throughout as he recalled experiences and stories - yet he finished with saying, "I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time..." He was a great friend and I am heartbroken. I am so sorry, Deborah, for all you are going through. I know you must be equally as amazing of a person, if not more.

We are so profoundly sorry for your loss. We knew Lamont from the 6th ward at the University of Utah. We eventually married and moved away. We have fond memories of our time with Lamont. My mother passed away from cancer. It is a horrible illness. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Lamont was great and generous friend. When I bought my house, he was so encouraging and enthusiastic that he ended up refinishing my wood floor for me! He also offered the dedicatory prayer for my home, which has been a great comfort to me. I will always treasure my memories of Lamont, particularly the eloquent notes he sent during my own illness. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
