Erin enjoyed skateboarding, playing the drums, listening to music, writing, drawing, painting and having multi-hour conversations with friends, family, and strangers as well.

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.”
