Elijah James Gomez Hernandez

Elijah had a passion for fun and adventure that shone through in everything he did. He could often be found immersed in epic battles on Fortnite, diving into the blocky world of Minecraft, rocking out on Guitar Hero, or streaming his latest gameplay triumphs on YouTube. His love for gaming extended to collecting retro consoles and classic games, a testament to his appreciation for the history and evolution of his favorite hobby.

His collection didn’t stop at games—he also had an impressive array of Funko Pop figures and other collectibles that filled his space with personality and charm. A true fan of all things superhero, he never missed a Marvel or DC movie and was an avid watcher of anime shows.

Family movie nights were a staple, where he enjoyed sharing his favorite films and series with loved ones. When he wasn’t gaming or watching something new, he was outside, perfecting his skateboarding tricks or strumming away on his guitar, filling the air with music.

Elijah is survived by his parents; sister, Raven Hernandez; grandmas, Grace Ortiz, Maria Rodriguez; grandpa, Felipe Alvarado; uncles, Juan Hernandez, Adam Hernandez, Nickolas Hernandez, Daniel Hernandez, Mikal Hernandez, Jose Gomez, Jonathan Gomez, Felix De Leon Jr.; aunts, San Juana Rodriguez, Yesenia Rodriguez, Denise Gomez, Yvonne DeLeon; cousins, Demi, Dom, Damien, Jayden, Logan, Gustavo, Rubi, Maryvi, Armando, Julius, Fabian, Exavier, and Bridgette. He will be truly missed by family and Friends.
