Adam Erickson Obituary
Adam Lee Erickson
June 9, 1985 – August 3, 2023
At 38 years young, our beautiful boy, Adam, tragically and unexpectedly lost his life; joining his beloved Grandparents in heaven. Adam was a magical person who fought through life at every turn and helped so many others along his way.
Adam graduated from Park Sr. High School in 2003, with honors and a letter in academics. He attended the University of Wisconsin, River Falls. He was a talented craftsman and handyman who loved to skateboard. Adam was incredibly artistic and loved animals. Despite his challenges, he paused whatever he had going on in his life, to help the homeless, the addicted and anyone in need.
Adam will be dearly missed by his Mom and Dad (Pam and Terry Higgins), brother Andy (Ann), brother McKenzie (Ashley), nieces Amelia and Ada Mae, many aunts, uncles and cousins. Adam is preceded in death by his Grandparents Dottie and Dick Binder.
In lieu flowers, donations to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in honor of Adam would be appreciated. A visitation and celebration of life will occur at Crossroads Church in Cottage Grove, MN on Thursday, August 10 at 10AM, service at 11am and luncheon to follow. Private interment.
