On Saturday October 10th, 2020, Megan Mae Erickson, age 21, passed away at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary. Kyle and Dana Erickson lost their beloved daughter, Megan, and her life was tragically cut short in a deadly car crash.
Megan was born on December 7th, 1998. Megan was a beautiful child with bouncing blonde curls, striking ocean blue eyes, and an infectious smile that would touch any soul she met. Life was not always easy for Megan. Outwardly, she was an inspiring young woman with a courageous smile, contagious laugh, and most importantly, a forgiving heart. However, inwardly, Megan had her own hidden struggles. We are so proud that she faced these struggles and overcame them. This strength of character gave her confidence and allowed her to adapt, change, and thrive. As she grew older, she recognized her own gifts, talents, and worth. This inspired Megan to reach her potential and beyond. As of late, Megan made the important decision to surround herself with others who would support her dreams and goals. Her mother and father were her greatest supports, along with dear friends who encouraged her in the pursuit of fulfilling her dreams. Megan had finally become the woman she aspired to be and was enrolled for Delmar college this coming November. In preparation, Megan bought herself a vehicle and began to save up. Megan was so happy, she even started wearing her naturally curly hair again, she loved life and she was just beginning a beautiful journey.
Megan rose above so many of life’s challenges and she did so with grace and courage, may all of us who were touched by her beautiful old soul take this to heart. Megan, we will miss seeing your beautiful smile, appreciating your incredible artistic imagination and your love of music which touched our hearts with songs.
