At Headwaters Health Care Centre, Orangeville, on Saturday, May 4, 2024 Eriks Elmars Jansons, at the age of 59. Beloved husband of Sandy for 34 years. Loving father of Laura (Evan), and Evan (Nikki). Cherished son of Eleanor and the late Elmars Jansons. Dear brother of Diana (Chris). Laura and Evan adored their father. He was an idol to them. Eriks loved his dog Holly with all of his heart, and their daily walks were a highlight in his day. He loved being up at the cottage, fishing, and creating things. He was extremely creative! He had many interests, such as curling every Monday night, and a passion for boats. He was a unique man, a hard worker, and providing for his family was of the utmost importance to him. Eriks was a cherished friend to many, always helping people out and loved to be there for them. He thoroughly enjoyed getting together with his neighbourhood buddies on Friday nights. He was an all around kind and down to earth man. He will be greatly missed.
The family will receive their friends at the Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street S. (Hwy. 50), Bolton (905-857-2213) Friday evening, May 10 for a memorial reception from 6 – 8 o’clock. Cremation has taken place.

Our parents were good friends many years ago and our families spent considerable time together. I fondly remember when Eriks and then Diana were born. Elmars and Eleanor were so proud. We had so many fun times and great memories on Go Home Lake fishing, swimming, boating, skiing, eating and drinking!
I’m sure Eriks will be greatly missed by his whole family and friends. Gone, but never forgotten.

My deepest condolences to you and extended family during a time of such unexpected loss, my heart pours out to you.
I had the pleasure of knowing the family during my childhood and as neighbours at my family home even now. I have incredibly fond memories at the Janson’s cottage during the summers and many of those memories include Erik’s taking us out on fast boat rides, helping us deck out the backyard shed into a clubhouse and the general assistance in whatever adventurous plan Laura and I came up with next. He was always eager to help us make the most of our childhoods and I will always appreciate and admire that of Eriks and the family <3
A quote that has carried me through times of loss is " Grief is just love with no place to go" and although it serves as a reminder of what feels missing in our hearts and lives it also is a reminder of the profound love we are capable of having for each other and that the love never goes away but transforms as life does.

It is with great sadness I send my condolences to Sandy and family.. Eriks was a great friend throughout our college days and loved by everyone for his kindness, sense of humour and loyalty. He was a good man and I send love to everyone especially his one and only Sandy.
Wherever Eriks may be now, I hope there is plenty of beer, boats and fishing.

Dearest Sandy, Laura & Evan.
Our hearts are broken and we share your pain at the loss of this wonderful friend and neighbor for over 27 years We will always remember his garage visits every week as he brought his famous home made pizza to watch the big game with his neighborhood buddies. Such a kind gentle soul who loved and supported everyone in his circle. This doesn’t feel real. He was taken too soon and we will all miss his terribly. Our deepest condolences to you and all your family. May he Rest In Peace

Deepest sympathies on the loss of Eriks.
He was a great friend during high school and I will always remember his incredible talent drawing speedboats, cars, planes and anything else for that matter.
Eriks encouraged me into my lifelong career in animation when he told me he was going to Sheridan after high school. For this I will always be greatful.
I only regret that we never reconnected later in life.
My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

Deepest sympathies to family, friends and office associates of Eriks Jansons.
Eriks and I came together through various projects over the years within our respective companies on a professional level. The knowledge of his craft was very helpful in succesfull outcomes with a variety of programs. I always trusted his professional opinion, recommendations and insights. He was always very pleasant and we shared many stories and laughs about life once our business activity was complete.
You will be missed, Eriks.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Eriks was an exceptional human being. I’ve only known him for a year but feels like a lifetime. He was the life of the company. A great mentor and friend. Will miss his sense of humor most of all. Gone far too soon. My condolences to the Jansons family in this tough time.
Rob Olsen
Sandy,
I was heartbroken when I heard the news of Eriks untimely passing. Even though we have grown apart over the years, due to my career path, I still considered you and Eriks close friends.
We had some great times in our younger years. Camping trips, way to many hours spent at the coffee shop, shows with the band with Danny, Steve, Sean and Eriks.
I never got to know Eriks the father or husband, but the man I knew before that was an outstanding individual. Very talented, outgoing, fun loving and a great friend and partner to you.
I know that he will be sorly missed by all who ever knew Eriks over the years.
I’m sorry that I will not able to be there to help you, the kids, and all the family and friends to
celebrate Eriks life.
May deepest condolences to you, Sandy, your 2 beautiful children and all of the family.
All my love.
Rob Olsen

Brittany Cox
Sandy, Laura and Evan,
In a time when there are no words that can completely alleviate the feelings of grief, I hope it offers some comfort that Eriks was such a beloved figure in my and many others childhood memories, and lives on as those stories are passed on. Your house was always a safe and fun place to be and Eriks always had a role (along with the rest of your family) in fostering that environment. Eriks will certainly be remembered as an essential thread in the fabric of community he helped to create on our streets. Thank you for sharing him with all of us for so many years.
