Mark Justin Erickson

Mark leaves behind a legacy of kindness and gentleness. He was a soft-spoken man who enjoyed listening more than talking and he was the happiest when spending time with his sheltie pups on the agility field.

Mark was not only a valued member of numerous dog clubs of which he held board positions, but also a cherished friend to so many. His love for his late wife Nancy, his Sheltie puppers, and his unwavering support volunteering at many dog-related events and clinics will be deeply missed.

Preceded in death by parents Bob and Jean Smith; Wife Nancy Erickson, son Adam Erickson, sister Joan McKinlay, brother-in-law, Leonard McKinlay; and sister Carol Gore. Survived by his beloved shelties Egan and Freyr, siblings Lois Duran, Walt (Candy) Grineski, Patty Clark, Cheryl Smith, Tammi (David) Winters; and many special friends, nieces, and nephews.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025 starting at 10am and going until the Celebration of Life and time of sharing at 11am at Hardage-Giddens Funeral Home, 11801 San Jose Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32223.
