Erick James Apatan Memorial Services

It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our beloved Erick Apatan. Erick leaves behind his son Victor, daughters Micah and Sofie, grandson Dominic, granddaughters Mila and Halo, and his beloved wife Leah of 25 years.
March 2023 Erick was diagnosed with a rare cancer, Appendiceal Cancer. Since diagnosed, Erick has been so strong and brave during this difficult journey. He was determined to not let this unfortunate illness control his life. He was adamant about the choices he made regarding treatment and was a true warrior. He peacefully passed away surrounded by his loved ones on Sunday, June 16, 2024.
No one can prepare for the loss of loved one. Once Erick was diagnosed with cancer it changed our lives forever. We had so much faith and hope that he would beat all odds and live longer than expected survival rate. Fifteen months later he passed at home. Although he lived a wonderful, meaningful life with his family and loyal friends he was taken from us too soon.
We have created this fundraiser to support Erick’s family with the funeral expenses, and provide them with some relief as they navigate through this heartbreaking journey of grief and healing. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference in helping Erick’s family in honoring his memory.
