Erick von Gerbitz, 41, passed away on October 5, 2026. Born on August 11, 1985, Erick lived in Houston, Texas. He will be remembered with deep respect for the steady way he met life—showing up with purpose, taking pride in honest work, and bringing quiet strength to those who counted on him.
Erick graduated from Aldine High School, a milestone that marked the beginning of a life shaped by determination and follow-through.
In his career, Erick worked as a traveling electrician with IBEW #602 (union). His work reflected a disciplined commitment to doing things the right way, wherever the job took him, and a reliability that spoke louder than words.
Above all, Erick was a father. He was the father of three boys—Jason, Isaac, and Logan—and his love for them stood at the center of his life.
Erick also made room for the things that brought energy and meaning to his days. He loved working out, exploring new restaurants, and making music—interests that reflected both drive and curiosity, and a spirit that could appreciate effort, discovery, and creativity in equal measure.
