You left us without warning. Not even a goodbye, and I can’t seem to stop asking the question, why?? We didn’t see this coming. It hit us by surprise! And when you left for Heaven, a small part of us died. Your smile could brighten anyone’s day. No matter what they were going through. And every day for the rest of our lives, we’ll be missing you!! You were like a son to me! Always caring and wanting to help people!! Rest in the arms of God, Eli ❤️ Give my Matt a hug for me. Love and miss you always, Cathy

My heart goes out to you, as his parents & also, his son. I have so many memories of Eli & my kids, even laughing at them cleaning the pool, when they got in trouble. Eli, was another of my adopted kids. May he rest in peace, until we meet again. Love you!

Eli,
I am sitting here thinking back on our last conversation that was not so long ago and my heart and mind are still in so much shock and hurt. You will always be that big teddy bear that had a heart of gold and would help anyone who needed it. You were always someone full of life. May your wings be a big as your heart and as shiny as your personality. Until we meet again my friend... Rest easy! You will always be loved and missed..💜

It's hard to believe that you are now looking down on us all . It's like yesterday we were playing kick ball in the church parking lot n racing model cars in the alley . Rip buddy till we meet up again in heaven .
