I will always remember you.
You are greatly missed and life will not be the same without you.
We still can't believe your gone and that you won't be at our campfires anymore. I hope you're watching out for us from heaven. RIP Erik

I am remembering Erik today wishing he could hear the impact he made on me. Erik and I connected in Grade 10. I recall being impressed with him as a 15 year old girl since he had long dreads and wore eccentric tie dyed clothing. There was something special about Erik that most guys his age didn’t have. Not only was it his physical appearance that was striking, but also his deep soul which sparkled through his eyes. We often met up on our Dutch cruiser bikes; Erik awaiting me with a smile and a gift in his pocket: a beautifully smelling oil, drawings of clove plants, a handmade hemp bracelet with a gorgeous turquoise stone. Erik had a real knack for making others feel exquisite and special. However, the longest lasting gift Erik gave me was the example of a young romantic relationship as he was nothing but kind, loving, tender and caring. Although our relation was short lived and I believe Erik was quite heartbroken, I am forever grateful to him for showing me this wonderful example. I realized later that sensitivity was one of Erik‘s greatest gifts, yet also one of his greatest challenges. He felt the weight of the world on another level and it sounds this to have rang true until his last days. I hope that Erik’s memory can remind us of the importance of sharing love and kindness. May the immense love he gave all of us be returned to him in the spiritual realm.
I am sending out all my love to all of you who love Erik.
Warmly,
Jana

Erik was a kind, loving, brilliant soul. His creativity sparked joy & motivated me to bring out my creative side. Erik always had wonderful words of advice, or a song that would fit just what I was needing.
The kids have a fantastic drawing Erik created when he was young. It will be treasured forever.
As a friend and uncle, Erik will be greatly missed.
Much love to Cathy, John, Adam, Alex, Marinus and Martina.
