Erick was born in April 9 1997 in Burbank CA. Erick was a smart, charismatic, thoughtful, the family jokester, humble, given, genuine young man. he was very loving and supportive of his family and friends. 

He was a good friend, son and brother. He loved music, jazz and writing. he also had a passion for cars.

Erick died by suicide on June 7. 2017 he was 20 years old. 

As his mom, I didn't see any signs and he never shared anything with me that he was struggling.

The purpose of this nonprofit is to honor the life and legacy of Erick A Garcia and to bring mental health awareness and suicide prevention awareness to our Antelope Valley. 

We bring anti-stigma education by providing resources and scholarships to our AV community. 

We partner with local agencies and nonprofits to reach out to our community to bring awareness.
