Elijah Christopher Styer passed peacefully in the arms of his parents early in the morning on August 14th, 2022 at Children’s Hospital Colorado. He was born on August 10th, 2022 at 9:31am in Aurora, Colorado weighing 6 pounds, 5 ounces.
He is survived by his parents, Elyssa Anne (Long) Styer and Shea Martin Styer, as well as paternal grandparents Jean Marie Styer, Lance Shea Styer, and maternal grandparents Susan Kay Long, James Emmert Long.
During his brief period with us, Elijah touched the lives of many family members, friends, and hospital staff. From gripping his momma’s finger and dodging foot tickles from his dad, to kicking away nurses trying to bathe him, he was a fighter who selflessly gave us enough time to meet him.
A private funeral mass for family will take place at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church on Thursday, August 25th, 2022. Burial will happen at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Castle Rock, Colorado.
For others, if you would like to say a rosary or prayer as we start the mass at 10:00am MST, we would love your support.
