The Bakersfield Californian 
Michelsen M.D., Dr. Erik W.     
1945 - 2005 
 
Erik W. Michelsen, M.D. 
Services: Mon., Aug. 8, 10 a.m. 

Erik died at home early in the morning on July 30, 2005 after a long battle 
with cancer. He was 84 years old. Erik was born in New York to Danish parents, 
Holger and Edith Wadum Michelsen. At an early age, he moved back to Denmark, 
where he went to a boarding school and later started his medical studies at 
the University of Copenhagen. In 1945 when the war in Europe was over, he 
returned to the U.S. where he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and underwent training 
in the San Diego and Great Lakes Naval Centers. After the war in the Pacific, 
Erik went back to Denmark, completing his medical studies and graduating from 
the University of Copenhagen. Erik spent many years as a pathologist, 
including three years in the Panama Canal Zone studying tropical diseases. He 
was a pathologist at Mercy Hospital in Bakersfield until he retired. Erik is 
survived by his wife, Ingrid; his children, Niels Michelsen and Annelise Judd; 
grandchildren, Emma and Samuel Judd; and brother, Per Michelsen; as well as 
his many friends in the Danish Lodge, of which he was a dedicated member for 
many years. Eriks family will remember him with love as a wonderful husband 
and father. Dad was always there to solve any problem or answer any question. 
His family and friends will miss his fine, dry wit and old-fashioned polite 
manners. A memorial service will be held on Monday August 8, 10:00 a.m., in 
the Doughty-Calhoun-OMeara Chapel, 1100 Truxtun Ave., followed by a reception 
at the Michelsen home. Donations in Eriks memory may be made to the Hoffmann 
Hospice.
