Erik Peter Schreiber, 37, of Islip, NY returned home to our Heavenly Father on June 15, 2021. Born on May 5, 1984 to loving parents Denise and Robert Schreiber, he instantly filled their lives with love and joy. He grew up in Islip, NY and continued to live on Long Island his entire life. He was a devout Catholic with a genuine care for all those he met. Erik held office in the Knights of Columbus as a prestigious Fourth Degree Knight. He loved working with numbers which led him to a career in finance and project management. Erik will always be remembered for his warm smile, sense of humor, teddy bear hugs, and kind ways. He always knew what to say or do, whether he was making you laugh, comforting you or just sitting by your side. He loved so deeply and brought out the best in everyone. To know Erik is to know love. At an early age, he knew just how precious life is and it showed in every moment he spent with his parents, brother, family, and many friends. Erik was a beloved son to Denise and Robert and cherished brother to Brian; adored grandson to the late Hilda and Peter Chiaffitelli, Robert and Betsy Schreiber; and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. His sudden passing leaves us deeply saddened, but his love will live in our hearts forever.
