Erik John Wartberg

Erik was a Florida native who had a great love for the outdoors. He grew up fishing and riding dirt bikes with his friends and family. He attended Barron Collier High School and Forrest Hill High. He went on to attend the University of Florida and Savannah College of Art and Design and then made his way back to Naples where he met Shannon and they began their life together. He could often be found on the water spending time with friends and family.

Erik is survived by his loving and heartbroken partner and best friend, Shannon Pruitt who shared the love of fishing and the outdoors with him for 20 years; his daughter, Kara Jean Brocious and son in-law Dillon Brocious; Son, Ty Ryan Bechtel-Wartberg; his parents, Jo Ann and Chuck Langston; along with many other family members including Dorothy, Shatae & family, Fred, Jessica, and more. He is greatly loved and will be genuinely missed by the many friends he made along his journey. His witty comments and sarcasm will be forever heard- in our hearts: forever and ever Amen!
