Erick will be sorely missed. He had a kind & joyful spirit and was always happy to see & visit with us on our numerous visits to Arkansas throughout my life. My fondest memory of Erick is a fall trout fishing trip on the White River. He heard we were coming to fish in Arkansas and eagerly arranged a trip on the White (boat, motor, bait, etc). We had a fine day on the water and he joyfully cleaned the fish we caught that day. He had a simple joy that was contagious when we were with him. He will be missed, but his spirit lives on.

Erick was always kind to me. Terry, Erick, William, and Carla, and their parents visited us in Indiana and we visited them in Arkansas, and reunions too. During those times I remember talking with Erick. He loved to talk about fishing, hunting, and his family. He will be missed!

I just cannot believe this
Erick was such a wonderful person. I loved visiting with him on our trips.
He lived life. He was not interested in accumulating things
He was interested in enjoying his children and used what he did have to enjoy his family and his time on earth
My heart goes out to you all and to his children, especially

I met Erick about 40 years ago when we were both going to night school in Harrison for welding I picked him up at his folks place since I lived in Mtn Home at the time. I was just out of the Marine Corps, and I think Erick was the first person I got to know in Marion county which led to many other friendships. Rest in Peace. Rickpig.

Your will always be remembered by our family for your natural sweetness, kindness and loving nature. This is true from the time you were a little toddler and a grown man. Our world would be a much better place if we all had inherited all your special attributes. Love Aunt Daphnal Frazier, Cousin Ford Frazier, and Cousin Amy Frazier.
