OBITUARY
On October 28th, Erin took her own life at Snooper's Rock while the sun rose over the mountains in the early morning. Though her death was unexpected and tragic, we hope that she is now finding peace. One thing that is for certain is that her love of mountains can only be rivaled by the love of her cat. "The mountains are calling and I must go." -John Muir
Erin was always, always one of my dearest friends. She was kind, thoughtful, so, so smart. She was dedicated in everything she set her mind to but most importantly - she was a fiercely loyal friend.

Friendship and love with Erin was one of life's greatest gifts. She was a bright and shining start of a human. Always supportive, always free to listen to what was on your mind, and always willing to share incredibly sound advice. Her joy and zeal were contagious and I will miss her so, so much. less

I was lucky enough to have her in my life for nearly 20 years. I want to share my favorite Erin memory. One morning when we were carpooling to college with my mom Erin came running out of the house, running late, with a granola bar in her mouth. She jumped in the car and we were on our way. We got nearly there and she says, "Leaha....I forgot my shoes!" We called her mom and the laughter that followed was enough to make your stomach hurt and tears roll down your face. There was nothing we could do but round up a couple grocery bags to put on her feet until we could find her a pair of shoes. The looks she got on the shuttle bus were hilarious! I loved Erin with all my heart and soul and I pray she's found her peace. less

There's so many beautiful things about Erin to remember! I became very close to her in high school through dance, and luckily I get the privilege to say she became one of my best friends.

I became very close to her in high school through dance, and luckily I get the privilege to say she became one of my best friends. It feels fitting now to describe her like an angel in my life because she was always looking out for me. She was creative, smart, and quick-witted. She got me into makeup and doing my hair, I would always love when she did me up all pretty (she watched so many youtube videos to learn and got so good at it!) We would eat pizza rolls or those little pocket sandwiches or lunchables! in her room and I would stay over for days/nights at a time making silly videos on her macbook and just talking about life. She was so fun to be around, her joy for life was intoxicating. After high school, we both decided to shave half our heads cause why not? As she had me hold my bleached yellowish blonde hair, she shaved the left side of my head. Shortly after, she shaved hers too. We were unstoppable! Some of the best moments in my life are with her. After she moved to Tennessee, I lost contact with her and always wanted to reconnect. I am thankful to have my memories with her, she will be deeply missed. less

Erin and I took dance lessons together from about age 7 to 17. She was always the shy, quiet one in class.

After a few years, she started to come out of her shell and I realized just what I had been missing out on all those years. Being with Erin was like a kind of escapism. No pressure, no judgement, no expectations, no stress. She was almost therapeutic to be around. She appreciated every little detail in life and her fun-loving, goofy nature was so contagious. We grew apart after high school and I had always hoped we would reconnect again. I've missed her and I always will; but I know she's rubbed off on me in ways I'll never lose, and in that way I'll always have a piece of her. less

How do you share that though in words? It is so hard to describe just what Erin was to me. She was so much more than a best friend. Looking back, I realized that she helped influence who I am. The things that I love and cherish to this day. We grew after high school into the people we were afraid to be. We learned to be more open minded and she showed me just what it meant to not be afraid to speak what you believe. She was that type of person. She knew what she believed and would stick to those beliefs no matter what. Not only was Erin this amazing soul, but she also had so much inside of her that people didn't get to see. So much she wanted to do and accomplish that she wasn't able to pursue. She wanted so much from this life and she made it seem possible to dream big. And she encouraged others to do so, no matter the cost. There are so many pieces of Erin that I could touch on, and yet it is so hard to describe those to the world because honestly it is the memories that I keep looking back on. And all of us have so many different memories that made Erin, well...Erin. Honestly, she was one of the most amazing people I will ever get to know. It is hard to choose one memory that I could choose to go with. Maybe how we gave in to our inner geeks and dressed up for Ren Faire? Or the Skype sessions we had were we would talk for hours about life a few years back? Maybe how I got her into her love of coffee? The shared love of the mountains? Or how she always loved cats. Always. Also her love of music. From listening to it, to playing it. Whether it be piano or singing. She was this fun goofy energy that I loved to be around. There are so many small moments that made her this wonderful woman in my eyes and I am so honored I got to have her in my life. I'll raise a glass for you. I'll always remember you and I will always love you. Rest in peace. less
