Eli was such a caring human being, always so friendly and kind to other, willing to help out and make everyone happy no matter the circumstances. He was a wonderful person. My heart aches and I am so sorry for all of his friends and family and I pray that god brings a blessing and some peace of mind your way. So many have reached out and it is obvious he touched so many people's lives in a positive way, what a blessing he was. He will be missed by many. I send all of my thoughts, prayers and love your way.
