Bradley Stuart Erickson, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on May 26, 2025, at the age of 61. Born on June 7, 1963, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to the late Carl “Gene” and Vivian (Fawber) Erickson.
He is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Patricia (Knadler) Erickson; his children, Shane (Marah) Erickson, Emily (Brad) Robinson, and Hannah (Josh) Clendenin; his beloved grandchildren, Carl, Levi, Wilder, and Melanie; siblings, Carl (Cathy) Erickson, Darlene Scott, Vera Gillis, Jeff Erickson, Rodney (Dot) Erickson, and Stanley (Tammy) Erickson; and many nieces and nephews.
Brad was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church of McAlisterville and belonged to Laborers’ Union Local 1180. His hard work and perseverance were evident not only in his profession but also in the love he poured into his family. His pride and joy were his children Shane, Emily, and Hannah; however, it was his grandchildren—Carl, Levi, Wilder, and Melanie—who were the light of his life. He loved spending time with them, sharing laughter and creating memories that will linger in their hearts forever. Brads greatest joys included bringing laughter to everyone he encountered, working on his cherished 1931 Ford Model A, taking leisurely Sunday drives with his wife, and mowing the grass.
