To the memory of our dear friend Erik: someone who truly knew how to love and live, he believed in the goodness of people and the world and infected everyone he met with it. You will be greatly missed and always alive in our life. Thank you for the memories and adventures.
Erik always had some crazy skills. here he is showing us how to build a fire out of a stick and a piece of grass.
Hunting the buffalo in the wild wild west on a road trip our freshman year of college.
For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing but to free the breath from its restless tides that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountaintop, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.

This was very nice and the quote from Kahlil Gibran was great. I just found in an old letter that my mother wrote to her mother about him. She had quoted from a book which I found out was from The Prophet on children. It was the whole basis of how she raised my siblings and me.
Those are great photos. I especially love the one of Gregg, Chris, and EFF. Those boys really knew how to love each other.
