Erik will be forever loved and remembered for his larger-than-life personality, his humor and whit, his loyalty and dedication to his loved ones and his quest for endless adventure. 

It was his passion for adventure that brought him to Colorado, moving from Pennsylvania where he grew up. Erik lived his life in motion. He found freedom and joy on his dirtbike, breaking trails and always being at the lead of the pack. Erik was also known for a wild run down the mountain on a mountain bike and or a snowboard. He had a thirst for adventure and could never get enough. Erik’s brother soon followed him to Colorado and his parents later retired in Colorado too. They treasured the time they shared together as a family.

Erik is deeply loved and survived by his parents, Jon and LeAnne Becker, a brother Blair Becker, and his very special niece Cora Becker.
