Erik Mogens Rauer

It’s all in the eyes they say… in yours I saw kindness, depth, humour, love, laughs and tears too.
From unlikely friends, to best friends brother sister friendship 🙌
I miss your quirkiness. Your originality trying to fit in. You’ve always been more than you knew.
You were and always be a star to me Erik.
Many people have benefited from your kindness and generosity….
The true old fashioned values you are blessed to have.
I cannot put into words what I would like to express ?
So I’ll say this, Versace mimosa drinking fool! 😂 I ADORE YOU. Always have, always will. Rest easy beautiful soul we shall catch up next time..

Wow it's time to write something, I'm still waiting for myself to wake up and find out it was a nightmare.

I met you way back in Nanaimo with your Cousin Peter Bothwell RIP as well miss him so much as well both in September making my birthday every year even more hard cause I think of all our no care random nights back then, and how you hated ur job lol,
So many times over the years.

And visiting my mom as you passing threw dropping flowers off for no reason except I thought of you, my mom took pictures each time and put them on her digital picture frame :)
Always looking up and thinking of you, hear a knock at the door and hope for a different bunch.
And always visiting have a smoke and chat, as my mom's retired just makes her day...
And now your gone she and all of us are beyond sad.
So just as I write this we all think of you the fun, great times, memories we will have forever.
RIP Erik

Erik i miss you so much. Growing up you were my little shadow, you followed me around all the time. You always wanted to sleep in my room with me, we had alot of game time together and lots of sleepovers. We got older and i left home so i didnt get to be around as much as id like. Life got busy, you did your thing and i was doing mine and well 6 years apart life at one point becomes so different. I did hair school and you got your hair colored red and black. I remember that "goth phase" ya that time it was just a phase thankfully for you. Then you liked skin fades and it took you forever to let me do your hair then i remember when you finally let me, you said i did the best haircut job he ever had. It made me happy when you were happy. I did my best to cheer you on when you succeeded, be your mentor when you struggled and tried to push you in the right direction but you were so stubbern in your ways. You loved to play with the kids so much and game night with your nephew was always fun listening to you two talk about the match and hear the laughing. Ill miss making memories with you and them all. Life never was fair and i wish the choices made were different for you. I will live my life and we will grow and make you proud of us, the kids will do good and make you proud of them. We love you and miss you so much my little brother that was like a foot taller then me. Hope you are with dad having fun and giving him the biggest hug ever from me too. I love you kid. Its never good bye, its always till next time.
