One of the good ones. I feel like he and I (and a few others) really went through the fire together there in those early, dark days when I first started. Fair, honest, and constructive to the Nth degree.
I'm lucky to have gotten to meet him at the first community cup, his real life personality matched his internet persona perfectly.
Devastating news. While I was only privileged to have a few casual interactions with him, years ago when I was more active, Erik always seemed like a fantastic guy. His selfless efforts to promote and improve the game exemplified what it means to be a true community-builder, and there is no doubt that we shall all miss his contributions dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this very trying time.
Really disheartening news to read. I can't speak much about him personally because I didn't know him like some of the other people here, but I was a huge fan of his work, and really looked forward to his articles every week. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
I was fortunate enough to get to know Erik, and what a guy he was. He is sorely missed already. Erik was one of the most genuine players I have ever met, and one of the friendliest guys. I will miss playing and talking with Erik. Rest in peace Erik and my sympathy to your family and friends. You were one of a kind.
I know whats its like to loose someone and I wish it on nobody.
Thanks for the write up guys and letting us know of Erik's passing.
I was gonna say more, but I really wouldn't make it through typing it all. - Joe
It is one of those things that makes you almost sick to your stomach. I could not say I really knew him other than I read his articles and listened to his podcasts and it still hit me like a ton of bricks. His family will be in my prayers.
I'm so incredibly sad about this. Not only for our loss of a friend, but for the incredible loss to his family. I have known Erik for a long time via modo and the forums and from the first time I interacted with him I knew he was someone special. He was the type of guy many of us wish we could be, and all of us were happy to know. I'm going to miss you Erik.
Well said AJ. I can't imagine anyone who could say it better than this. Ripped out of our existence indeed. He will be forever missed and yet I will always remember his voice from the podcasts as he carried us forward into yet another week on MODO and in the world. Resquiat In Pacem Erik!
Erik always had something nice to say to people. He was a positive, giving caring friend to all. He was a leader and yet was always willing to listen. He broke my heart yesterday, even though I didn't know it until today.

We've lost a real treasure of the Modo community, and one of its brightest lights. My condolences to his family.

I'm really speechless at this last announcement. This is a sad day. Prayers go out to his family.
I will always remember Erik at the Invitational. He enjoyed everything, and made being there a pleasure.
Magic has lost one of the good ones. The really good ones.

This is very sad.
