Eryk Villano

Eryk Villano, beloved son, brother, friend, and devoted follower of Christ, passed away surrounded by the love of those whose lives he touched so deeply. He was born on September 25, 1996, in Upland, California, to his loving parents, Tamie Beeman and Mike Villano.

From an early age, Eryk lived with purpose, compassion, and joy. He had a playful spirit and a kind heart that drew people to him wherever he went. He was funny, hardworking, full of life and love, and treated everyone he met with genuine kindness and respect. He was deeply loved by many, and his absence leaves an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew him.

Eryk was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, and his faith guided the way he lived his life. He sought to serve others with humility and love, reflecting Christ’s compassion through his words and actions.

A lifelong athlete, Eryk began playing soccer at the age of six and developed a deep love for the game. He proudly played for the EHS soccer team during his high school years, creating lasting memories and friendships through the sport he cherished.

Eryk graduated from high school in 2015. He was also an accomplished member of the Boy Scouts of America, earning the rank of Eagle Scout in 2013. As part of his Eagle Scout service project, he organized and completed the installation of trash bins at the local arboretum, demonstrating his commitment to serving and improving his community.

He pursued higher education with determination and excellence. Eryk attended Harding University, where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree after four years of study. He was an active member of Chi Sigma Alpha during his time there. Driven by a passion to care for others, he continued his education through more than three years of pharmacy school and achieved one of his greatest accomplishments when he earned his Doctor of Pharmacy degree in December 2025.

Above all else, Eryk treasured the people in his life. He was a devoted son, a loving brother, and a loyal friend. His laughter, encouragement, and playful personality brightened countless days. He had a remarkable ability to make others feel seen, welcomed, and valued. The love he gave so freely will continue to live on in the many lives he touched.

Eryk is survived by his parents, Tamie Beeman and Mike Villano; his step-father Glenn Beeman; his siblings, Kymberli, Sarah, and Kevin; along with numerous extended family members, friends, classmates, teammates, and all who were blessed to know him.

Though our hearts grieve his passing, we take comfort in the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ and rejoice in the assurance that Eryk is now in the presence of the Savior he faithfully loved and served.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” — Matthew 25:23

Eryk’s life was a beautiful testimony of faith, kindness, perseverance, and love. He will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always cherished.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. Monday, June 29, 2026 at College Avenue Church of Christ. Visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m. prior to the service. Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Young's Funeral Directors.
