Steven Erickson, 36, passed away unexpectedly at his home in Sedro-Woolley on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2015. Sadly, his body succumbed to a recent illness that was too much to battle. If our love was enough to keep him alive, he would have lived forever.

The first child of Paul and Carol Erickson, was born June 3, 1979, in Sedro-Woolley, the town he would always consider his home. He became a big brother 2 years and 5 years later, to Danielle and Pete. Being a protective big brother was a role he was born to play.

Steven attended school in Burlington, followed shortly after by working in construction alongside his dad, and later hanging drywall with his Uncle Mel, and his brother, Pete. In 1998 his Aunt Tracy re-introduced Steven to a childhood friend, Sabrina Baker, who would become his wife and love of his life. In 2000, Sabrina and Steven welcomed their first son, Austin James, followed by Kevin Paul in 2006. Steven loved being a father more than anything in this world. He was also an avid disc-golf player who loved music and movies. Steven had a huge heart and loved his family and friends fiercely. He had the utmost respect for the women in his life, especially his wife, mom, sister, and mother-in-law. He would give you the shirt of his back if it was what you needed. He was a pillar of strength for his family, and will be forever missed.

Steven is survived by his wife, Sabrina, sons Austin and Kevin, parents Paul and Carol Erickson, sister Danielle Fuller (Randall), brother Pete Erickson, mother-in-law, Brenda Shipman (Randy), father-in-law, Jack Baker (Kerri), sister-in-laws, Sarah Baker, Shawna Baker (Michael), Hannah Shipman and brother-in-law, Jack Baker (Kasey), grandparents Maury and Robin Erickson, Carol and Jerry Hart, and Tye Roberts, Uncles Mel Roberts and Mark Erickson, Aunt Tracy Clayton, nephews Brady, Ayden and Jack, nieces Arreah, Layna, and Kaylynn, numerous great aunts, great uncles, cousins and friends.
