Exactly what it sounds like.  Does anyone know when this occurred?

Masters and Minions ('76) describes his actions as a leader "in the last year," and he is just 21 at that stage. Since that is at or around the age of majority, late-ish 3075 or early '76 seems about right, but I can find no specific date in the material I have.
Mordin Solus: We need a plan to stop them.
John Shepard: We fight or we die. That's the plan.
Ashley Williams: Wow. That's the plan? Is it just me, or did Shepard have better plans before he died?
Urdnot Wrex: Silence! This is the best plan anyone, anywhere has ever had!
Garrus Vakarian: Yes! I AM SO THERE I AM THERE ALREADY!

Hopefully he lasts longer than his dad.

we don't even know that much, since by 3130, he's no longer the leader, which means he either died before 50, or he took and early retirement for one reason or another
"Warriors, not war machines, are the backbone of the Hell's Horses. While others worship the BattleMech as the ultimate weapon, the men and women of this Clan see even this awesome piece of technology as the tool it is. We have held to this philosophy since the days of our first Khan, who knew that the value of the common soldier far outstripped the brute force of the BattleMech. It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage. Our survival against all challengers when others have fallen proves the folly of such arrogance, and testifies to the wisdom of our founders."

By 3130, Erik would have been 75.  While in the BTU people can easily live that long and be strong and with it, few leaders actually make it to that age.
