Shannon and family thinking of you at this time. I loved hearing the stories throughout Elliott's full life from  Buddy just what a fun loving and living life to the fullest person he was. He is an inpiration to live your life everyday!

Dear Elliott,  

We started going to each others birthday partys since the 1st grade. I don't remember when I stopped having themed birthday parties, but you were always there. We had so much fun...you always brought the fun.

I remember blasting the Beastie Boy's Hello Nasty CD you got me while ping pong....for hours and h  ours. You taught me how to put spin on any shot. 

You were my first real pillow fight. I remember we had a group of friends upstairs with wrestling on our mind. Mixed with feather pillows, oh man. Your mom cam up stairs and was livid, haha. We spent what seemed like days cleaning up.

I remember always feeling too big to crawl through your back area of your house to get to the back yard where we'd spend hours playing baseball. You always hit the homerun.

You were my first sleepover on a school night. How cool did I think that was. We lit up the super nintendo all night. 

Remember when I had the Ren and Stimpy party and we caught "farts" in paper lunch bags that were actually released latex ballons flying all over the living room? 

I watched Beavis and Butthead for the first time with you. We laughed so hard.

Remember the 1992 election party at your house when Clinton won? We jumped up and down for joy, not really knowing why. 

No matter how many times I tried, I could never beat you at NFL BLITZ. 

You introduced me to the glory that is minute rice and worcester sauce.

Remember when we camped out on your deck? I'm glad we didn't do it the night that beast of a tree fell down on it!

Sometimes all we'd eat for dinner was a loaf of french bread, but it was so damn good. 

You introduced me to wrestling. I'll always remember debates over the coolness of Lex Luger, The Ultimate Warrior, Rick Flair, Yokozuna...the list goes on, but you were always the one and only CHAMP. 

Remember Camp Fire?, I think that's how it all got started. 

You were the reason I became a member of Bellevue First Congregational Church. We got confirmed together. 

Buhner buzz night. We shaved our heads. 

You were the reason I joined a bowling team. We had so much fun on those saturday mornings. 

You taught me the art of finagling out of video game late fees. 

As we grew older we went on separate paths, but whenever we saw each other, it was as if we were boys again. My childhood wouldn't have been the same if not for you. 

I know I'm forgetting to mention years of memories, but that's okay because I know they helped shape who I am today. 

You always encouraged me to be the best person I could be, and to be myself no matter what. 

I love you Elliott.
I miss you Elliott.
