Erica Michelle Buchanan- born in 1977 on a Tuesday, January 4 in Whittier CA. And she was a perfect little baby girl to her parents L.J. and Toni. She grew up loving to play with dolls and make up like a lot of little girls do, but she also liked to play with the boys also. She went into sports to "beat the boys" to have a little more fun! She enjoyed soccer, baseball and swimming and Flag Team in high school. Overcoming obstacles such as dyslexia in the third grade, she knew that sometimes she had to work harder than others to get the end result she wanted. With some sort of stray animal popping up at her parents home, she developed a love of animals at an early age. The family had 2 cats and 4 dogs before she graduated from high school. While on Labor Day vacations, the family would alternate vacation destinations between SeaWorld and Lake Shasta. Erica enjoyed the San Diego vacations immensely and dreamed of working with animals as an adult. while in Southern California, the ocean was always one of her favorite places/things to do. Her younger years were spent there in Whittier until August of 1992. In Redding, she continued on in high school with some sports and focused on learning in school and life. She grew a large number of friends as she was full of good energy and had an awesome heart. She graduated high school and fully bloomed into the free spirit as everyone knew today. She settled down in Monterey Ca in 2008, finding love, motherhood, and the industry that she worked in for over a decade.
She leaves behind a Son-Achilles, a daughter-Bryanna, Mother-Toni, Brother- John, a niece, a nephew, a sister in law and multiple cousins, aunts, uncles and multiple people who considered her as family.
