Elijah was a great man and friend. He always had a big heart and an even bigger smile. He always did right by me and was a genuinely kind person. He always talked about his son and I hope his son grows up knowing his father truly loved him. He didn't deserve what happened to him but I know he is in a better place watching over us now. Rest easy brother, we will meet again down the road of life.

I Got to know Elijah very well before he moved to Pittsburgh. We we're roommates in Federal Way for 6 months prior to him leaving. I remember he wanted me to move with him out there. Wish he had just never left. I've lost alot of friends from Yakima over the years but this one struck me the hardest. He was a man of great advice and encouragment. "You can do anything Jordan" he would tell me on a regular. Many unforgettable memory's to share of Elijah during the countless hours we spent hanging out.

I am so sorry to read about your loss, it is always difficult to lose a loved one, but it is especially tragic to lose them at such a young age. Please take comfort in knowing that death is only a temporary part of life. (John 5:28,29) Although your time with Elijah was cut short, you can have the hope of being reunited with him forever, under perfect circumstances. (Revelation 21:4) In the meantime, even though the pain may at times seem insurmountable, rest assured that God will give you the strength necessary to endure. (Psalm 94:17-19) Please accept my deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences.

I am so sorry to hear about Elijah. I wanted to send my heartfelt sympathy and share a beautiful promise I look forward to so much. The Bible promises a resurrection of our loved ones at John 5:28,29. They will be brought back to life under the wonderful conditions described at Psalms 37:11, "The meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." I hope that these scriptures bring a measure of comfort during your difficult time.

Elijah was one of my most memorable students due to his intelligence and quick humor. He supported others in their learning and possessed the potential to be a leader. He was a bright and shining light. I send you my most sincere and heartfelt compassion for your loss and for the loss that all of us must suffer with his passing.

I had the pleasure of getting to know him when he first moved to pittsburgh. Such a bright personality and genuinely kind hearted individual. He had a giant smile on his face every time I saw him that was instantly contagious. I will miss him dearly. My condolences.
