Erik “The Viking” Fromm… found dead at age 36
I received a call this morning from Erik Fromm’s sister, Dianna, informing me of the unfortunate news. Erik “The Viking” Fromm was found dead at his Richfield, Minnesota home last night. The cause of death has not been determined. Dianna said she would pass along more details as they became available. At the time of of conversation she believed Erik would be cremated as, “he never stayed in one place for every long”. His mother currently lives in Wyoming and his sister in Montana.
Erik was a consistent top 10 NPC Super-Heavyweight Bodybuilder. The 2004 NPC Nationals would be the last time he took the stage. Erik was the 1996 Colorado State Champion.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Fromm family.

Even though it has been many, many years I still have very fond memories of Erik from grade school and Juniour High, always a smile on his face and never a harsh word to anyone. My thoughts and prayers go out to his fiance, family and friends, Erik was a beautiful person and will be sadly missed.
