He truly has left a lasting impact as I too did google him to find out why he passed when I saw the end of the episode. As a mother, I can not imagine having to bury my child at any age and my heart goes out to both mom and dad/step parents too. Its amazing how many people cared to come leave a message. He had a very kind face and unforgettable eyes so I know he was special and will look over his family and friends always.

I didn't know him. Like many others here I saw him on these woods are haunted, and I immediately looked up Weste. I'm sorry for the family's loss. It's so hard to loose someone. I lost my mom a year ago and it bothers me so much that there will be a day nobody will think about her. Weste will always be remembered. He's etched in history in a way. I hope you find comfort in that. I mean 8 years later and someone new , cared enough to look him up , then come here to post . Just to let him and his family know he's seen. Love to all of you.

May God bless you and your family & friends for your loss. I didn´t know him but I just saw his show These Woods are Haunted! I´m so glad he shared his story with us all.

It touched me even more to see that they put his show in memory of him. I was shocked to see this so I came to see if it would say how he passed.
RIP WESTE & God bless the family and friends and others that watched this show.

We didn't know Weste personally but just saw the episode of These Woods Are Haunted that he was in. It was obvious that he was a kind and thoughtful person and something about him, the look in his eyes, touched us to the point that when we saw the "In Memory of Weste" message at the end of the show, we had to search for his obituary and learn what happened to such a young man. He was obviously special because here we are, now in 2025, still writing messages in his memory all these years after his passing. We wanted to express our condolences and give our love to his family and friends and do our part to keep his memory going throughout this year 2025 and well into the future.
Our thoughts & prayers are with you,
Kevin & Leslie

I know it's been since 2017, and people are still giving condolences to the family because of seeing the T.V. show that I too just watched.

Although I did not know Weste personally, my heart broke at the end of his episode on Max´s "These Woods Are Haunted"; season 1, episode 2. Simply by watching, I could tell that he was a bright, intelligent and kind person who loved his family and friends very much. Please accept my deepest condolences and sincerest prayers for the loss of such a wonderful person. Rest in peace, Weste...

As a mother, I felt compelled to say how my heart went out too his parents and family members. I only knew of him through the TV program"these haunted woods". The story was well told by him and his friend.At the end they notified viewers of his passing. I'm deeply sorry. I hope you find comfort in his truth of life after death that he is there checking in on you . He was a very handsome ,well spoken young man.
Sincerely,

RIP Weste Erickson !

February 21, 2021

It was very heavy to see the "In memory of" frame at the end of the episode. So heavy that I'm actually on the internet looking for healing and closure. Whatever the situation was, I hope your family and friends do find healing, and comfort, seeing so many strangers mourning his death.

I just saw his episode on TITW n he seemed to be a remarkable friend. To his family and friends...I just had my 32 year young brother pass as well in March of 2020 and my thoughts and prayers are with him and you. God bless his gentle soul and everyone's life he seemed to touch in his life and passing.

Jason Carter

Although Weste was taken from this earth too soon, He has been immortalized through the show he did "terror in the woods". Every time episode 3 season 1 plays Weste will be able to touch more people's heart and soul as he did mine today and many other times before when I watched probably 8 times! From what I can tell he was a gentle soul, articulate, intelligent and a great friend. I wish his family the best, and know Weste is smiling down from heaven!✝

Like many others I saw Mr. Erickson on TiTw. What a humble and sweet spirit this young man had. Weste, I believe is one of the rare Angels in human form that we get to encounter on God's green earth. My deepest condolences to his family and everyone who knew him.❤

Mali Brooks

February 15, 2021

I saw the episode Weste was on, Terror in the Woods and saw that he had passed away at the very end when the memorial frame came on. I'm so sorry for this loss as I could tell he was a gentle and beautiful person. I wish I had the chance to meet him in person. It breaks my heart that he passed away so young. May God bless his soul as he watches over those he loves. Rest in eternal peace Weste. Your life & heart was a beautiful one ❤

Saw Weste on TV, his bright soul stood out to me. Sending his family & friends prayers of comfort

Dawn Smith

January 31, 2021

I never had the pleasure of meeting Weste, and rarely catch a full television program, but his story on TiTW was so captivating that I actually put my work down to give it my attention. I was so saddened to see that he had passed away, and I felt compelled to leave a message before the show even ended. I have to say that I am amazed by the number of people that he touched through this one experience, but not surprised, given his obvious ability to connect with other people; that's what made me put my work down to watch this episode of TiTW after all. Amazed but not surprised, if that makes any sense. To his parents, you clearly raised a fine young man, and I am so sorry for your loss. Truth is that everyone loses when the influence of a good person is no longer with us. My brother passed away as a young man of similar age, and it's a difficult thing to wrestle with; but just as my brother is watching over me, I'm sure that Weste is watching over you. I pray that brings everyone who loved him a measure of peace. - Dawn, Jupiter Florida

I'm in absolute awe of the number of condolences for Weste.
I myself have never seen this many anywhere, outside of celebrities. I hope it provides a small amount of comfort for family and friends to this day. Although a lot of the people did not know Weste, his soul has transcended time and space and he is still touching people in a positive way.
I hope that family and friends still read these condolences, and know that Weste had a purpose for his short - lived life.

I also saw Weste's story on TITW. I'm so glad I took the time to look into who he was as a person upon seeing the "In Memory of..." What a light he truly was to those whose lives he touched! He obviously was a remarkable person. I'm so sorry for his loss - sending love & light to all who love him!

Sorry for your tremendous loss at such an early age. I also met Weste via television and caught the tail end of the program. My experience with paranormal was seeing my wife's mother walk through her old bumper pull camping trailer!
Just believe the experience is real! Someday maybe you will be fortunate enough to have one.
God bless all!

Like most of the others, I did not personally have the pleasure of meeting Weste. I saw him on TITW and during his interview I said to my husband that, while I think most of these programs are scripted, that Weste and James really seemed like good, decent, honest people and I was drawn to the warmness he displayed. Seeing the "In Memory of" at the end honestly deeply saddened my heart. I NEVER actually check those but, because of the light and sincerity he projected, I did. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that the family & friends as well as anyone that knew him, can take comfort in the words of strangers in your time off grief. Thank you for allowing us to witness his light. God Bless you all. Thoughts and prayers from Redding, CA USA

My prayers and condolences continue for your family Weste. I know your spirit still exists in another realm so you do know of the love and support I and other strangers are sending to you and your family.
Continue to Rest In God Weste.
