Buck Guy Eriksen died suddenly of a heart attack the morning of May 6, 2011. Buck was born June 14, 1973, in Monroe Wash. He attended Sultan Elementary School. He moved to Whidbey Island where he attended Langley Middle School, and then he moved to Oak Harbor and attended Oak Harbor High School.

Buck married and moved to Eastern Washington, where he went on to help design and build bio-diesel plants. Buck also worked for Scott Paper Mill and Brojtie Apple Orchards as the maintenance supervisor. Buck just recently moved back to Oak Harbor to start a new beginning.

He leaves behind his father Roy Eriksen and mother Patricia Little and two sisters, Fawn Eriksen and Chastity Stiff. He leaves behind six children that he loved dearly, Trent, Sydney, Jade, Willow, Chloe and Reizen. Buck also leaves behind his new found soulmate Ann-Marie Taylor Lentz.

Buck had a great love for God and his family. He enjoyed fishing and bird hunting and spending all the time he could with his children, the joys of his life.

You are gone but still so deep in our hearts. May you now find the peace you were denied here. You were truly a bright light and a true and honorable man. Your loss is felt beyond words by all who knew you. You will be deeply missed. Rest in peace. We love you.

A memorial will be held at the VFW on Goldie Road in Oak Harbor on Sunday. May 22, at 2 p.m. It will be a pot luck; any questions, call 675-1844.
