My name is Daniella and I knew Elijah since elementary and we had been friends since then he was an amazing person and so kind and thoughtful me and him and a group of friends would always hang out at the park it was always fun being around him there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about him miss him everyday ❤️

It's taken me over a year to finally be able to open this wedsite without having a panic attack. I'm Cole and I've known Elijah since 3rd grade. Everyday I still think of him and bring him up in normal convos with friends. I don't remember how we originally met but we sorta just became friends like it was out of no where and from that moment I always knew he'd have my back and I'd have his. I liked to think of him as a best friend if not a brother. We lived literally 30 seconds away from eachother. He came to my house all the time and I went to his all the time. His family treated me like their own sibling and child and I like to think we did too with Elijah. Elijah was an essential part of my child hood and life in general I don't think I'll ever forget him. Every 9th of the month I wear green in his honor and I won't let that tradition go. I know that he's finally at peace and is resting easy. He was always a heavy sleeper lol. If his mom is reading this I just want to say thank you for everything you've ever done for me. From being a amazing mother to Elijah and all his siblings to being an amazing person in general. I know for a fact Elijah looks over you everyday. Any sign you get of him is truly him you're not going crazy. If any of his family is reading this I love you all for making Elijah a great and smart kid. I love you all and Elijah if you're reading this just know I'm a Beluga whale the OG gang will always be the Belugas.

15 years ago today a great friend was born. I wanna say happy birthday to Elijah and wanted to thank him for everything he did for me. i only knew Elijah for 2 years but he's really been there for me even when we didn't know each other so well. He always made my day better. Knowing he's gone at such a young age breaks my heart for real. Elijah was just a good person overall. I really wanna send my condolences to his family. Thank you guys for making such a sweet and funny person. I miss you lots Elijah and Happy Birthday.

I wanna say I loved Elijah and I still do, I'll never be the same knowing that the whole gang isnt completed. I only knew him for about 2 years, but God damn he made my life so happy when I was going threw some of the worst moments in my life. I just wanna say that he made me happy when no one could, I'm so happy that I knew him, I love him, and I'll keep his memory alive, we all will.

I'm Elijah's friend Julian. Me and Elijah have been really close friends since middle school. He was a very nice and funny person, i had him for 1 of my classes this year and all we would do is talk a lot. I told him i would always be there for him and i was. I'm sorry for your loss and i will pray for you and your family

I'm Jadon Davis, Donovan's older brother. I knew Elijah when I was in middle school when donovan introduced him to me and he was a really fun kid. It was fun having him over to our house and go to his house and to meet his siblings. So for all you friends and family members I will pray to God to bless him, and we will see him again.

I'm Elijah's friend Donovan. We had been friends since the third grade. He was always the kind and loving type unless he really didn't like you but that was rare. I remember the first day we met we were sitting across from each other in class and he asked me what time it was and of course I told him. Later that day he wanted to hang out with me at recess. From that moment on we were friends. After 8th grade I hadn't talked to him since. And when I heard about this accident the same day it happened, I almost couldn't breathe. I denied it at first because I couldn't believe it. But now I understand. I chose to accept it and now realize that he was an example, a leader, and a role model. Not just to me, but also to the people whos hearts he touched.

My condolences goes out to the family.  I am sorry for your lost and pray that god gets your family through this terrible lost.  

My name is Antoinette Moore, and I was Elijah math teacher at Johnston Middle School, and he was truly a joy to have in my class.  I will hold on to the memories of his beautiful smile and pleasant charter.  God Bless!

I was a person who was passing by. I went to his side and and held his hand. I told your beautiful son that he was not alone. I pray for you and your family.  God bless all of you.

i never met him but i know he was good to all people i new his sister and i just hope you can get through this 

love, Sade Garcia
