Erich Hugh William Burr

Born in Kitimat, BC, on August 4, 1958, Erich will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by his loving wife of 42 years, Lori, and their two daughters, Amanda, and Ashley.

Erich is also survived by his sister Marguerite (Dan) Csikos, and their 2 children Megan and Anthony. His half-sister Elisabeth (Dieter) Gerjets, and their 3 children Janna, Ute, Amke. As well as his sister-in-law Lynda (Darrell) Campbell, and their 2 children Michael and Daniel.

Erich maintained a strong connection to his Kitimat roots but chose to make Vancouver his home in 1976. During his college years, he worked as a lifeguard and then at Expo86. Following his studies, Erich pursued a career as an electrician and dedicated 30 years to Telus.

Erich was a multi-passionate man who touched many lives with his diverse interests and talents. He was a devoted family man and a great friend to many. His passions included: working as a Reiki master, practicing as a hypnotherapist, traveling, especially enjoying cruises and scuba diving around North America, engaging with a weekly radio club, and pursuing photography.

Erich’s love for life and varied interests brought joy to everyone who knew him. His presence will be greatly missed, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him.

A celebration of life to honor Erich will be held in mid-September.

We will share the details once the arrangements have been finalized.
