TSgt. David Eugene Erickson, USAF (Ret.)

TSgt. David Eugene Erickson, USAF (Ret.), entered into Heaven’s gates on the morning of Tuesday, April 15, 2025. He was 87 years old.

Born May 23, 1937, in Superior, Wisconsin, David was the beloved son of the late Paul Leonard and Dorothy Marie Peterson Erickson. He proudly served in the United States Air Force and retired with honor as a Technical Sergeant.
