The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the caring ICU staff at both Cottage Hospital, Santa Barbara and Ventura County Medical Center, whose expertise and optimism kept the dream of a heart transplant alive. Also, a very special thank you to the Social Workers and volunteers from Santa Barbara and Ventura County who tirelessly work with private organizations in combination with public resources to find a solution to mental health, drug addiction and homelessness issues, proving that these are first a community and public health issue, better addressed though cooperation with law enforcement by using the courts to steer the afflicted towards prevention, rehabilitation and re-education.
Erik will be remembered with a private family gathering over the 4th of July holiday weekend. Arrangements are under the direction of the JOSEPH P. REARDON FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICE, Ventura.
