Erik Peter Daniluk, 40, passed unexpectedly in his home in Boston on March 4, 2025. Beloved son of Susan Daniliuk and the late David Daniliuk. Also survived by his siblings, Nicole Poirier and husband, Anthony, of Westport, and Craig Daniliuk and fiancee, Christine Sullivan of Marlborough; his niece and nephew, Helena and Lester Poirier; and countless friends.
Formerly of Maynard, Erik never met a stranger. He was known for his endless storytelling, his brutal honesty, and bringing people together. His excitement for life was contagious and he had a talent for being able to make a game out of anything. Always down for traveling, a concert, or Bruins game, every new experience was "the best ever." He was everyone's biggest cheerleader and his presence filled a room. A former hugging contest winner, he was also famous for his amazing bear hugs. He leaves behind some of the greatest memories and will be sorely missed by many.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Maynard Rod & Gun Club on Sunday, March 30, 2025 from 12-3pm. Casual dress encouraged. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Massachusetts Association for Mental Health

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
