There will be a memorial service in December for Erin at The Tipton Lions Club. The service is scheduled for Wednesday, December 28 at 6:30 pm.
At his children’s request, they ask that in the coming days you remember Erin by breakdancing, playing Public Enemy at full volume, make friendly conversation with a cashier, send colorfully worded texts to your friends and family at all hours of the night, or drink a Diet Mountain Dew with a Nutty Bar. Erin would have wanted it this way.
“ Aight Den. Werdout.”

Erin was unique in his ways of living. He was genuine all the way through. He shone with love and touched so many people with his positivity in spite of the health issues. I’m blessed to have been his friend. May Erin now rest in peace. It is so sad he had to leave us at such a young age. May God comfort all the hearts of those who love and care about Erin and his family.
Erin was an awesome guy. I remember him and my dad taking the boys skating and him coming over to shred the quarter pipe in our backyard. He was always super nice to us kids, he talked to us on a level that made it feel like we were equals and he always had Mt. Dew, which probably played a part in our infatuation with that nasty crap.
All in all Erin Epp was a great guy, he was like a crazy, eccentric uncle. Plus he contributed to the creation of the three awesome kids that were our best friends back in the day.
Rest in peace Erin! Thanks for everything!
