For 28 years, Scott Erickson celebrated his life, growing up in Hawaii until the age of six; he grew to love the islands and the ocean. Scott returned to Albuquerque and completed 12 years of school, graduating from Sandia High School in 1990. Shortly after graduation, he returned to Hawaii. Upon returning to Albuquerque in 1993, he met the love of his life, Lori Diamond. They were married six years and were expecting their first child, a baby boy in October. On Memorial Day they died at the scene in a tragic car accident. Scott was loved by all and never met a stranger. He had no boundaries.
