I just want to remind everyone or anyone that Eli is still carried on in our hearts, and, although we've had time, these wounds have not healed. We love you, Eli, and keep on shreddin'!!

well... I never really knew Eli but he was a good friend to alot of people and its sad it came to this and I hope all goes well for friends and family, and to all the Sk8ers that sk8ed with him, i know how it is to lose friends, and Eli is another one that s gone, but God wanted him and took him away from his friends and Family. but to whom he is, he will alway be in our prays and thoughts each day. we will miss you Eli and we will see you again someday... <3

i had eli in my 6th hr class, government- mrs. hyde.. he bought a shirt on the senior trip that had random words that noone could understand.. i was the only one in that class that knew what it said so everytime someone said "what does that mean?" i would say to him "eli, show them what your shirt says!" and he would just start to laugh and show everyone.. it was so funny and he always had a smile on his face everytime i said something about that shirt.. even though we only saw each other in that class, i felt like he was someone that anyone could run to and talk to about anything.. now everyday i walk into that class and expect to see him with that shirt on so i could say something to him.. but its too bad, i wont get that chance anymore.. eli was an awesome person and he will never be forgotten.. i think more people cared about him then he actually realized..

your always going to be missed eli, you'll always be in our prayers.. i hope you are watching over all of us from above.. put in a good word!!

love always- Kaylee Eckhardt 2008
