My life has been very hard not having someone there to guide me through life, but the one thing that I wish I could change was the amount of time I had with my dad. Bring born in 2004, I only had 5 years with him. Hearing stories makes me wonder just how fun and caring he had to be. This year I’m 15 and it’s 2020, and I want to say thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts with my family and me because it helps me know that people truly do care and my heart goes out to you all. I decided to play basketball this year and I think I might stay playing the next 2 years of high school I have left. During games I think of my dad and ask him for help while I try my hardest to make him proud. Though I’m not as athletic as him I believe it’s what he would have wanted me to do. I would do anything on this earth just to have 1 day with him and ask for his best advice and to share stories(even though his would be more entertaining).

My heart is filled with saddness at your passing. I only have childhood memories of U, we went to Rose Lake Elem. together but U were such a kind, sweet person even then, I am sure that never changed. My fondest memory of U is how U helped Tammy and me win the ice sculpture contest in 3rd or 4th grade. U were alway such a good person, to good for this world, I know U are with Jesus. Rest in Peace, Erik, it was my honor to have been your friend.

I am sorry about your loss, especially so soon after the loss of Erik's Dad - God Bless

Ugh. There just aren't any words. It is so hard to fathom a loss like this. And of course I never thought to tell Erik what he meant to me, or thank him for being such a cool uncle, until now that it's too late. :( I am so sorry for your loss. It is a terrible tragedy. I will miss hunting with Erik and i hope and pray that you all stay strong during this difficult time. I'm so sorry.

Aud, Austin, Tanner, Hannah Jo,and Mason,
As has been said, words will never do. I am glad we are present to share hugs, tears, and laughter of times together.We will always miss Erik. But we will hear his voice in things we do and the laugh. Aud, I know you are strong enough to get through this, but it doesn't seem fair! Life doesn't seem fair, and it isn't this side of heaven. You know your kids could live here and Nick would live with you too. I'm sure the dirt path between our places will be worn down. We'll always be here for you. We have many more camping trips to take together. Don't know if Uncle Joe can live up to Erik's legacy in hunting, but he'll try. We love you so much. You are doing a great job in this all, a very wonderful memorial for all. It is a loss for so many people. He lives on.

Dear Audrey, Austin, Jan and Family,
Saying that I am sorry for your loss does not seem any where near enough. I know you all are hurting so and nothing I say can make it better.
Please know that all the folks at Camp Mak-a-Dream especially the geese are remembering all of you. I recently had the honor of meeting Austin on the cruise with her grandmother.
May God hod you in his arms and may you feel his out pouring of loving grace.
Love,

I would not be the person i am today without the memories of growing up as Erik's niece. Since we were very close in age, we were two troublemakers together and constantly roaming the fields around grandmother's house making up games and stories, and tormenting the younger cousins.( sorry Heather!!) Watching him grow up and his beautiful family and children and knowing how much he loved and cared for them, it is hard to believe he is gone so soon. I will miss him every day and keep Erik in my thoughts always. His spirit will truly live on in the trees and the lake and the outdoors he loved.

The Andersen family has and will always be an extension of my own family and it all was tied around Erik. We grew up together, and although I was older, I always looked to Erik for guidance, leadership and support in which he never failed me. He loved his family and friends. My heartfelt thoughts are in sincere gratitude for being able to call Erik - friend. My continued prayers are for Audrey, his children, my extended mom - Mary Lou and Erik's many friends who are grieving this great loss.

I went to school with Erik at Rose Lake. He was in my brother's grade. They were always up to something. I remember Erik's laugh after all these years. My brother stuck a rock in his own ear & tried to blame it on Erik. Reading about the love that he showed and shared is amazing. My prayers go out to his family.

Although it has been since the summer of 1985 I last saw Erik I can still see the smirky smile he always had no matter the situation. Running over him in Football practice or passing him in the hall he always had that smile. My heart goes out to Audrey and the rest of their family. It is hard to come up with the words to make this all better, but I just want Audrey and the Family to know my Prayers are with you in this hard time. May God show you peace during this trying time.

I was so sad to hear of Erik's passing, my heart goes out to Audrey, his kids, Mom, and the rest of his family. I am keeping you in my prayers. The one thing about Erik is that he always greeted you with a smile, in the years growing up, that never changed. I could tell how much he loved his family, he was always at his kids games. He was always so positive with all of the kids that he coached. I will miss seeing him with his kids, but his memory lives on through them.

Even tho they didn't know him long, their hearts are deeply saddened and their hearts go out to Audry, the children, Andersen family and our whole community. So with that all said, Erik you aren't with us in body but Honey you will always be with us in soul. Love Ya Lots & We will always hold you dear to our heart!!

Erik was willing to go the extra miles to provide for his family. Although he was new to the oil field industry, he was a hard worker and would go out of his way to help me out.

A classmate and friend. Erik will be missed. The world will be a smaller place with out him and his love of life and passion to stand with those around him and know him. In high school at Kootenai he was a classmate, teamate and friend. One who would be right there with me pulling a practicle joke or begging me to help him with his homework but always making up for it in some way. Always fun to be around. He could surprise you with his wit but you always knew his dedication to his friends and family. He was a man of his word. He showed compassion and didn't show spite to those less fortunate. On the contrary he was always one of the first to help. Over time, like all classmates and friends go through, we became seperated by time and distance. But always when meeting up when we could it was a handshake and hug. A how are you doing and what are you up too. A conversation of times past and times to come. Talking about the past and looking towards the future. You will not be forgotten Erik.
