Erik P Rasmussen

Erik Paul Rasmussen was born on November 20, 1964, at the hospital in Harlan, Iowa to Franklin “Fraz” and Doris Rasmussen.

He lived in Council Bluffs with his friends, where he enjoyed outings, shopping trips, and simply spending time together. He especially loved grocery shopping.

Erik had a deep love for music, particularly country music, and cherished car rides around town—especially trips to Omaha with his mom and motorcycle rides with his dad. He had a great sense of humor, often playing tricks by hiding things and making others find them.

Food was one of his greatest joys—he loved it all! He also enjoyed swinging in the backyard, taking occasional trips to the park, and going on walks. While he found joy in many things, one thing he did not enjoy was dogs.

Erik passed away on Monday, March 10, 2025 at his home in Council Bluffs, Iowa having attained the age of 60 years, three months, and 20 days. He was preceded in death by his parents Franklin “Fraz” and Doris Rasmussen.

Erik is survived by his brother, Mark (Brenda) Rasmussen of Harlan, Iowa; niece, Katie (Robert) Ranney of Ames, Iowa; nephew, Matt Rasmussen of Hot Springs, South Dakota; great niece, Kira Ranney and great nephew, Oliver Ranney.

Private graveside services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the family.
