IN MEMORIAM
Eryn Van Acker
Eryn’s life was marked by courage, warmth, and action. She was the kind of person who noticed what others missed - and then did something about it.
She was deeply compassionate, highly competent, and an unashamed advocate for people who were overlooked, underestimated, or carrying more than most could see. She had a rare mix of tenderness and backbone - the kind of person who could meet you with warmth and move mountains on your behalf.
We’ll share more stories over time. For now, we’re holding close what we already know to be true: her life was meaningful, her love was genuine, and her impact is lasting. Her impact will continue through the people she loved, the lives she touched, and the efforts she so passionately set in motion.
In the days ahead, we’ll share additional details about coordinated support for the family and those impacted by her loss. Services are being planned in the greater San Francisco and Chicago regions, with details forthcoming.
