It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Erik B. Block, a devoted son, partner, and hardworking member of the Northland Concrete & Masonry team. Originally from Saint Paul, Minnesota, Erik had made his home in Miami, Florida, where he lived alongside his partner, Kylie Ness, and their newborn daughter, Sophia.
Erik was more than just a skilled professional; he was a dedicated and caring individual whose presence brightened the lives of everyone around him. His work at Northland Concrete & Masonry reflected his strong work ethic and commitment to excellence, while his personal life demonstrated his love for family and those closest to him. His untimely passing has left a profound void in the hearts of his family, friends, and colleagues.
“Our family is heartbroken by the unexpected loss of our son Erik,” said his loved ones. “We want to honor him with a loving and respectful funeral, but we are unable to cover the costs on our own. Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to us as we seek to lay him to rest with the dignity he deserves.”
In addition to covering funeral expenses, any donations beyond the service costs will be placed into a trust for Erik and Kylie’s daughter, Sophia, ensuring her future is cared for even in this difficult time. Plans for Erik’s Celebration of Life are currently being finalized, and updates will be shared once arrangements have been completed.
The family wishes to extend heartfelt gratitude to everyone offering their kindness, prayers, and support during this painful period. “Whether you are able to donate or not, please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate this unimaginable loss,” they shared.
Erik’s legacy will live on through the love he shared with his family, the joy he brought to those around him, and the care he invested in his work and community. His life, though cut tragically short, made a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
