Sending my deepest sympathies to the family for the loss of sweet Erik. He was my art student at Riverside High School and was always a sweet young man to work with. He was a deep thinker and very creative so it was good to learn of his woodworking business where he shared his artistic talents. It is a heartbreaking loss and I pray you find comfort in the sweet memories and photos and with the friends that share in your grief.

Erik was my long time Instagram friend. He and I had a unique friendship because I work 3rd shift, and he was an insomniac who found himself sending me silly memes at 3 am lol He also sent me some things from his business, the Sawmill shop. He was always there to listen and make me laugh. I did talk to him the day he died, and he told me he had a headache but then also sent me a meme for good measure. I will miss him, and our friendship immensely. He was such a good guy. My condolences to his family. My heart is broken.

Erik was my friend on Instagram for two years. We spoke every day. He sent me wood cut outs from his shop. He was a caring person and a good friend. He wanted to find a wife and have many children someday. I am heartbroken that he will never have this and that he is gone. He was my good friend and I will miss him and he will never see the messages I sent him. My condolences to his family and friends who are grieving and hurting.
