Even though I didn´t know Erik, I know how much his death has affected his family, friends, and community. He had so much left to see and do on this earth, but God had different plans. He wanted Erik in heaven with him. To all of Erik´s loved ones, I´m sorry for your loss. May you be comforted by the lives he touched and the presence of the Lord. May Erik rest in peace now.
