Support Erik Hoel's Family in Their Time of Loss

Hello, my name is Heather... On Sunday, October 13th, my Dad, Erik Hoel, passed away due to complications after surgery at the age of 69... The family faces the great tragedy of this unexpected loss with incredibly heavy hearts and irreparable grief. 

Losing a dad so unexpectedly is something unimaginable and something that will never be healed. This family will never be the same without him, and neither will anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was so incredibly kind and caring, goofy and fun, and loving and hardworking. He worked so hard every day of his life to support his family that he loved so much. 

His passing leaves behind the family that he worked so very hard to support. He leaves behind four children, four grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and his loving wife, who has now lost the love of her life. She also has health struggles herself that have been put off to take care of his... His children have lost a father who was not only a dad but also an amazing friend. They grieve for the loss of someone they shared so many amazing, fun memories with. 

With such an unexpected death, the family is left in an even worse situation. As Erik was the only source of support for the family and had a very small life insurance policy. Due to the high cost of things in our current economy and unexpected medical bills, the family has decided to hold a celebration of his life at a later date.

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards his medical bills, then anything left over will go towards his celebration of life and supporting his wife through this tragic time. 

He will be so deeply missed by every single person who knew him, and we hope that the memory of his kind, wonderful hippie soul will live on forever. Please keep the family in your prayers during this devastating time, and we ask that even if you are unable to donate, please share this with your friends, family, and co-workers so that his family has some support through this extremely dark time.

Thank you so VERY much for your time!!!
