Eli, I still remember the day you joined our class in 5th grade. We stayed friends since then. Played pool many a times at Dailys and kept in touch on socials when you went to NZ. See you in the next life, brother.

Eli was my son Alex Taylor´s friend in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. They shared many wonderful memories as teenagers. Hanging out at our pool, going to the beach and just hanging out with his group of friends. They were so looking forward to him returning in a few months. Whenever he came over he always was a beam of sunshine always smiling and laughing. He was a wonderful young man and he will be dearly missed by his California friends! Eli and Alex both had their sons on the same birthdate but 1 year apart which they both thought was cool! I am sure Eli was a wonderful daddy! He was loved by anyone that met him. Prayers and condolences to the family Gloria Taylor

Eli was one of my best friends. We spoke constantly and I´ll always hold close the memories I´ve had with him, through middle school until now. Eli will be deeply missed by us that grew up with him and by anybody who got the chance and pleasure to meet him.

Rest in peace Eli. You are loved and missed by many and will forever be in our hearts. I didn´t know him like some of our other family members, but I did know enough to say that he was so strong and so kind. You left a lasting impression on the people around you and I won´t forget the times you spent with us even for that short period of time. Or the few times you showed me how to surf. Your memory will live on through all of us Eli.

Eli was my nephew and I loved him with all my heart. I will always remember the little boy with sparkling blue eyes, big smile, and squeaky little voice. We had the pleasure of sharing our home with him from 1st through 5th grade. I enjoyed helping him with school work, spending holidays together, and taking him with us on vacations to Mammoth, Florida, and Oregon. He was so excited to be a father and wanted to be there for his son. We loved him tremendously and will miss him greatly.
