March 6, 2024
Erik Alexander Lonvick, 18, of Glen Ellyn, IL, was born on August 22, 2005 and passed away on March 3, 2024. He died a week after an utterly unexpected cardiac event caused by asymptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The family appreciates the staff members at Advent-Health GlenOaks and Lurie Children’s Hospital, who cared for Erik with skill and heart. At Glenbard West High School, Erik was known and loved as Lonnie. A senior, he was proud to wear #77 as an offensive tackle for the school’s football team (the Hitters), and he was deciding where to go to college, after receiving several offers to play college football. Earlier this year, he earned Eagle Scout honors with Troop 45 after completing a trail markers project at Lambert Lake in Glen Ellyn.
From the Mayo Clinic:
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a heart condition present at birth. That means it’s a congenital heart defect. People with WPW syndrome have an extra pathway for signals to travel between the heart’s upper and lower chambers. This causes a fast heartbeat. Changes in the heartbeat can make it harder for the heart to work as it should. WPW syndrome is fairly rare. Another name for it is preexcitation syndrome. The episodes of fast heartbeats seen in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome usually aren’t life-threatening. But serious heart problems can occur. Rarely, the syndrome may lead to sudden cardiac death in children and young adults.

With no hope of speedy treatment in Calgary, she returned to her Vashon home. The next day, she was admitted to the University of Washington Medical Center where her increasing pain was eventually stabilized, and she received a round of chemotherapy. She was grateful then to have two good weeks at the cabin with Jim, Alison, and friends who stopped by. She was in her happy place and safe haven. When it was clear that chemotherapy was not stopping the rapid spread of the cancer, Sarah was admitted to UWMC for the last week of her life.
