A memorial service was held in Cedar Park Texas on Sunday June 4, 2017.Gary was born on August 2, 1968 in Austin, Texas to Paul and Iris (Harrison) Ericson. Gary grew up loving to play baseball and fish with his Dad and Popo. He graduated from Westwood High School in 1987. His love for the great outdoors was shared with his family and many friends. He enjoyed memorable moments hunting, fishing, attending Longhorn games, and spending weekends at NASCAR racing events. Gary met his wife Heidi (Slack) on a trip to South Dakota in July of 1994 while attending his sister's (Paula) wedding. Gary and Heidi were joined in marriage 10 years later on July 17, 2004 in Harrisburg, SD. Gary and Heidi welcomed the birth of their beautiful daughter Emery Faith on June 21 2010. Gary was a devoted father and Emery was the light of his life.
