n/a n/ayou will be sadly missed,erwin,alot of people are grieving today because your loved that much,rest in peace my friend in the kingdom of heaven(ONE LOVE)
fresno CaliforniaI came by today to see you
Oh I had to let you know
If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time
I’d have held you, and never let go
Oh, it’s kept me awake nights, wondering
I lie in the dark, just asking why
I’ve always been told
You won’t be called home
Until it’s your time
I guess heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up
For what you believe
And follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is heaven was needing a hero
Like you
I remember the last time I saw you
Oh, you held your head up proud
I laughed inside
When I saw how you were standing out in the crowd
Your such a part of who I am
Now that part will just be void
No matter how much I need you now
Heaven needed you more
Cause heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up
For what you believe
And follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is heaven was needing a hero
Like you
Yes, Heaven was needing a hero
and that’s you

I worked with Erwin “Shaq” when we did vehicle emissions testing in Chicago. He was a wonderfully sweet and caring man. He always could make me laugh and was always there when I needed a friend. I am sorry for his families loss and wish them peace and know that whatever he did; he did with love and with a big smile on his face. He was missed when he left Chicago and is still missed now.
