Baxter Funeral & Cremation ServiceErik Vasquez Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He fought through many health challenges, but through it all he remained the most loving, selfless, and family-oriented person we knew. He was a proud dad to three children, Gabbie, Gavin, and Kelcey; a deeply devoted papa to his two grandchildren, Parker and Luca; a loving son to Rodney Hinton and Efrain Vasquez Sr.; special brother to siblings, Delma Vasquez-Wilmon, Efrain Vasquez Jr.; special friends to Sarah Waters and Jamie Heath; and a wonderful man to several other family members and friends.
Our dad always said he wanted his legacy to be his kindness and the impact he made on the people around him. Anyone who knew him, knew that he lived that every day; whether through a warm smile, a helping hand, or the way he made everyone feel like family. He will be greatly missed by all.
Visitation will be held on Friday, October 3, 2025 from 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm with a memorial service to follow at 2:00 pm.
