In Loving Memory of Daniel Joseph Erickson:
Daniel Joseph Erickson, a beloved son, brother, father, husband, and grandfather, was born on November 30, 1958, and peacefully passed away at home in Post Falls, ID, surrounded by his wife and children on January 30, 2024. Daniel, affectionately known as Dan, touched the lives of many with his warm heart, kindness, and love for his family.
Dan is survived by his devoted wife, Linda Erickson, and his cherished children, Timothy Barber and Lacy James (Aaron). His siblings; Linda Wirtz, Kathleen (Jim) McCorgary, Mike (Terri) Erickson, Chris Erickson, Lisa Erickson, His grandchildren; Benton James, Korban James and Elias Barber, and many nieces and nephews.
Dan had a deep love for the outdoors, and his passion for fishing was a source of joy throughout his life. He found solace and peace in nature, often sharing these moments with his family and friends. Whether casting a line into a tranquil lake or teaching his children and grandchildren the art of fishing, Dan's connection to the outdoors was a testament to his appreciation for the simple joys in life.
His devotion to his family was unparalleled, and he held a special place in his heart for his grandchildren. Dan's face would light up with joy at the sight of Benton, Korban, and Elias. He reveled in the shared laughter, playful moments, and the precious memories created with them. Above all, Dan cherished his beloved wife Linda, and their enduring love was a source of inspiration to all who knew them.
Dan is preceded in death by his parents, Lorrene Erickson and Frank Erickson Sr., sibling Frank Erickson Jr., his son Nathanial Bryant and grandson Parker James. Their memory will forever be intertwined with the legacy of a man who held family close to his heart.
Accepting that everything unfolds in God's perfect timing, those of us who remain cannot help but feel that his departure from our lives was too soon, and we will deeply miss him. His warmth, laughter, and unwavering love will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. As we remember and celebrate the life of Daniel Joseph Erickson, let us find solace in the cherished moments and the enduring love he shared with those he held dear. May he rest in eternal peace.
Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, March 2nd 2024 at 1:00 p.m. English Funeral Chapel, Post Falls.
