Erik Culhane

Erik Culhane went home to be with the Lord on June 13th 2006. His passing was mourned by friends and family and a memorial service was held June 16th 2006 at Faith Christian Family Church in Eureka Springs AR. The service was attended by over 700 people. He left behind his wife, Amanda of 5 years and 2 children, Cassie age 3 and Elsie age 3 weeks. His family and friends daily remember him and look forward to a reunion with him in heaven.

To those who knew him, we hope this site and the memories it speaks of, will help you to remember what Erik lived for. To those who knew him not, we hope that this will portray a picture of a Godly man. A loving husband, a caring father, and a true friend. Those who knew Erik are assured of a reunion with him one day in heaven. Until that time, we will do our best to remember who he was, what he stood for, and what he showed us about being a man.

Erik's family was his life's mission. He joined his heart with Amanda (McDonald) on August 4, 2001. He and his helpmeet of almost five years were blessed with two precious daughters. Erik was such a "hands on daddy" that he insisted on delivering both Cassie and Elsie. Due to the unconditional love he showed his wife, their marriage was an inspiration for many of the young men and women in their lives. The tenderness he exhibited with Cassie and Elsie was also beautiful.

Erik's loving parents are Larry and Judy Culhane. He was a big part of a happy family. Brothers are Matt( and wife Carrie) and Caleb. His sisters are Sarajane (and husband Josh), Rio and Emma. His grandparents are Les and Rio Kettelson and Ida Shatto. Erik's exuberance in life touched his friends and family in such a deep way that he will always remain a unique part of who they are.
