DJ Erick Morillo Death – Obituary | Dead – Passed Away
Erick Morillo Death – Dead: A great loss was made known to InsideEko. As friends and families of the deceased are mourning the passing of their loved and cherished Erick Morillo.
Sad to find out my friend Erick morillo has died. I’ve know him 30 years.
He was a damaged soul and incest survivor. He had big trouble and it kills me to see someone with so many blessing throw his life away time after time. I think it all was just to much for him to deal with. He could never outrun his past. We bonded over our past demons .No angel whatsoever. I know this. I knew him, trust me I know him. But a huge talent, a lost soul who never got over his own trauma . And he died frightened and alone and no one deserves that. If he did indeed rape and damage anyone I also feel their pain. You deserved to be heard and supported. Please understand I hear and support you – but he was my friend and I really knew him. The guy I knew wasn’t a rapist. Maybe he was I don’t know and never saw that honestly. He was a player and could be an ass. He was terrified of true intimacy.
I know he was not perfect I’m not excusing his behavior because he def loved women. But he was always kind and generous to me even when overstepping the boundaries of friendship – I never felt unsafe with him. I’ll miss you mate. I you lost your way but I’m so sad we lost you. I’ll remember the times in the studio, I’ll remember how you had me work with you in the clubs in Ibiza I’ll stand up for you even when your fail. The world just got duller without your bright light. RIP
I just can’t believe this… Beyond the complex man he was and all the excesses of his life. #ErickMorillo was for me the ultimate Dj, the one who made me want to become a Dj & who convinced me that sharing the love for electronic music was the best thing to do in life. R.I.P

We can hold both thoughts concurrently:
Erick Morillo left an undelible mark on house music; his death is tragic & premature.Also, Erick Morillo was out on bail after being arrested for sexually assaulting another DJ last year.
His legacy is complicated but loss is still loss.

Can’t believe it. Only spoke to him last week… he was troubled, less than perfect but was always amazing to me and helped us get circus going in the early days, and we had many amazing times over the 20 years we we’re friends. Genuinely gutted. RIP @ErickMorillo
