    I’m greatly saddened at the loss of Erik, and honored to have had him as a classmate and a friend.

    I haven’t seen Erik for years, but have certainly though about him. He was a Very good friend back when I was a teenager. Man that hurts.. He will be missed..

    Once upon a time I new Erik as a little boy and young man. He was a happy, gentle, and loving soul. The world is a bit darker without him in it. May his family and friends find solace in their memories.

    Erik was a kind, gentle and remarkable person. He was intelligent, fun to be around and lit up the room with his personality. He will truly be missed.
