Erik: I know you and your dad are enjoying your time together. And you're with your Uncle Terry and Gran and Grandpa Hess. Give your dad a hug from me.

HAPPY HEAVENLY ANNIVERSARY TO YOU ERIK..I KNOW YOU ARE WITH YOUR POPS AND BROTHER, WHICH MAKES THIS DAY MORE SURREAL...YOU ARE ALL MISSED SO MUCH...BUT THIS YR YOU CAN SAY TO YOUR POPS YOURSELF...I LOVE YOU MAN!!!GIVE THEM HUGS AND KISSES FOR ME OK...

You know, you're Pops did this every year for you. This time, it's different, both him and Damien are up there with you. I can only imagine the conversations you all are having right now and him trying to keep you boys in line. I sure hope you all are having the time of your lives. To be in the presence of our Lord has got to be the most incredible experience ever. May you all rest easy and watch over your families. Love you all!

Erik: I am sure you didn't expect your brother and dad with you so soon, but I'm sure you're all happy to be reunited. If your dad doesn't realize it, we all miss him terribly and he's left a big hole in our hearts. Tell him "Bobby" says so.

Well Erik this Year it is 18 yrs since you were called home. This yr also your dad wont be writing on your wall, for he has joined you. So I will do it for him. He Missed you so and talked about you often, Damien is also there with you. 2022 was the saddest Yr for me , But I am sure you welcomed them both. Keep and eye on your mom and your brother Justin, they are suffering so. Give Damien and your Dad a hug for me and let them know that I miss them so. And I Love you to man!

Happy Heavenly Birthday my Son... 46 years ago you came into our lives, kicking & screaming.. Hard to even imagine another year has come & gone without you here with us .. Watch over your Family until we join you..I Love Ya Man .... "Pops"

Wonderful tributes to Erik. He was/is well-loved. God bless you all!

March 25, 2005, it was "Good Friday" during Lent .. we were getting ready to Celebrate an early Easter that weekend, little did we know that God was going to call your name to join Him at His House.. It's been 17 years since that Day... I have a hard time wrapping my head around that fact .. This year you are joined by your brother Damien who went to see you 1/3/2022.. in Life, Brothers & "Partners in Crime"and now together again, Brothers Forever in Heaven.. So, to my Sons I say, Save me a seat at the Table, I'll see you both when I get there .. " I Love ya Men" Peace & Love, " Pops"

Its been 16 years since God called you Home... I remember every moment, of yjos day like it was this morning... Keep a watchful eye over all of us down here, as we still need you... Love and Miss You more than words can say or express... " I Love Ya Man"... "Pops"

Still remember.always in my thoughts and prayers.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Erik ...44 years ago, you made your Mom and I the Happiest parents on the planet.. I'm sure that you are celebrating with our Family and Friends up there...Until we can all be together again, always remember, " I love ya man "... "Pops "

Erik, sorry I never got the chance to meet you but I know you're keeping a watch over your old man and for that I am grateful.

My Dear Son Erik, Impossible to believe that it has been 15 years since God called you Home..as yet another year pass's it doesn't get any easier to accept the fact that you are gone from us..Please keep a watchful eye on your Family & Friends you left behind until we are all together once again...Give everybody up there with you a Big Hug and Kiss for me, keep the Party going until I get there...Always Remember, "I Love Ya Man", "Pops"

What's up with Erik hard to believe it's been so long since you've past away. You were always there most thoughtful and giving person I'd ever known. A great friend even when times had gotten pretty ruff. I still think on you all the time and you're forever in my prayers. Until we meet again old friend, God Bless!

Remembering a day when God Blessed me with my first baby boy June 9, 1976...Erik Michael Hess arrived kicking and screaming and made his parents the happiest on the planet...Happy Birthday in Heaven Erik..Keep watch over your Family & Friends until we all meet again... " I Love Ya Man", "Pops"

Yet again another year without you. Shawn speaks of you often and I see your Grandma every Thursday. Watch over your brother please. Hope you are happy where you are.

Erik - I wish I'd had the pleasure of meeting you. I know you are missed terribly, especially by your dad who I love as a brother. Keep a watch over your dad and mom and family so they may keep your memory alive.

My Son, as yet another year passes, hard to believe 14 years have passed.. the heartache doesn't get any easier, the memories don't fade, the Love only gets stronger..I miss you more then mere words can say...The only thing that makes each day any easier, is the fact that we will all be together again someday, Until that time time arrives, watch over all of us, Family & Friends and always remember " I Love ya Man".. "Pops"

A dozen years have gone by since you left us .. it feels like yesterday, same shock, overwhelming sadness..Not a day has passed that you are not loved and missed by many..Keep a watchful eye on all of us left down here...Until we meet again, "I Love Ya Man".."Pops"

Here we are again. another year goes by and still we remember. Always.
Toni Cole

I Love ya Man.. "Pops"

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

MARCH 25, 2005..Good Friday, God called you to his side, to be with family and friends who have gone before you..You left family and many friends, with tears, broken hearts and unanswered questions. Our family continues to grow, but not a day goes by that you are not missed, talked about and loved..Until we meet again my son, "I love ya man" "Pops"

It's been so very long my friend Erik, funny I'll still see your face in someone else walking in store or driving down the street. Still miss the good times hanging out. My Dad is up there with you now so I've hope you guys have ran into one another. Good bless Bro.

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday and the day before that too
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part.
God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.

LIL MATT

I don't even know where to begin. All I know is that I miss you so much! Still to this day, 4 years later, I don't understand why it had to be this way. Why did God call you to be with him so early, it's not fair! This might be strange to some but I don't care, I still have your last bottle of cologne, your last cigarette, your bathrobe, your slippers and I still wear your favorite sweatshirt. All of these things and there is more that I have are like a security blanket, I will NEVER get rid of them. I would give anything to just hear your voice again or see you. It's so hard right now and it hurts so bad. Continue to watch over us all. Love you and miss you always! Shanyn

Erik..it has been four years since God called you home..It was by far the saddest day of my life, forced by circumstances beyond my control to say goodbye to my son..never to hear your voice, the sound your laughter or feel your hugs...you are missed and loved today and will be for all the tomorrows yet to come..Always remember "I love ya man"..Pops

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Having a hard time concentrating, thinking about the day that changed my life and others forever. It's like a broken record, it just plays over and over. Love always!

Its getting closer and closer to the day that none of us will ever forget and will live with us all forever. Miss you always and love you forever. You will always be my soul mate and best friend!

Miss you and love you always!!!

To my son Erik, as yet another Christmas arrives, as our family and friends get together and enjoy each others company, we will speak of all the holidays spent together, all the fun and laughter shared. All precoius memories we all have as gifts from you.. I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas as you spend it with the one for whom the season is celebrated..Peace & Love, "Pops"

Love You Always!
Shanyn

Love Rich

My Dear Son, Three years ago today, God called you home..I miss you more then words can explain. We will never understand the reasons why, just take some solace in the fact that you are in a better place, happy and without any earthly limits or the pain that goes with them.Look down on all that loved you and put your arms around all of us. Your smile and memories of the good times will get us through the tough times. Always remember, until we meet again, "I love ya Man"..."Pops"

Three years ago today, you left us for a better place. Three years ago today, my soulmate, my love, my bestfriend passed on. Why? I still don't think its fair and have so many questions that will forever be unanswered along with knowing there will never be closure. I have pictures that I still carry with me in my purse and show everyone. I say "This is my Erik". The one is of us on Laguna Beach visiting Aunt Sandy and Uncle J and the other is of you at our old apartment and your sitting on the couch with the biggest smile on your face eating a PB & J sandwich. I will always remember you with that cute smile. I will never, ever forget you! Each year I relive the last couple of weeks and I know they weren't the best but I can't help it, its hard. I still remember all the good times, I promise! I know that you are watching down on me, your family and friends keeping us safe and we love you for that. No one will ever replace you in my heart. You will always have that special place.

I love you always and forever!
Shanyn

Shanyn- I know that the words that you read on these post bring you back to a place that you so desperatly need to move past, but I want you to know that as a friend that has been through something just as horrible I promise that one day you will move on. I am not saying that it will get "easier" but it will be more managable. We have had many conversations on how you have to move on but never forget and it is SOOOO true. Be true to yourself, stop rejecting any happiness thinking that you don't deserve it, because sweetie YOU DO DESERVE IT. Know that my arms are always open for that needed hug. My ears are always open for that needed talk. My heart is always open and willing to cry with you. So often we forget what is most important after we lose someone... it is US girl. He is forever happy and safe where he is... you have to make that happy and safe place for yourself. I love you and remember... God did and does have a plan although we may never understand it... there is a reason. Focus on what positive has happened within yourself because of the painful things you have endured. LOVE YOU!

JUST PASSING THROUGH AND I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW I'M THINKING OF YOU ALWAYS!!KEEP LOOKING DOWN ON EVERYONE!

MISS YOU SO MUCH
