My name is Lisa Pruitt and I am raising money to cover funeral expenses for my nephew, he was sadly taken too young, and no one plans for such a tragedy, I am trying to make sure we can give him the send-off that he deserves and some of the financial difficulty can be removed from grandmother who helped raise him.

Elijah Edward Pruitt was a beautiful and loving son, brother, grandson, and beautiful loving soul. He loved climbing, music, his family and close friends, his girlfriend, and his cat Sasuke. He was a kind and sensitive soul with a calming spirit. He loved to make people smile and laugh, and his presence is already missed by so many people. He had dreams of starting a family and being a father, and he valued and cherished his family. As a young boy, he had a hug and a smile ready for anyone he met. Even though we are grieving this devastating loss, we know he is safe with his father and grandparents and that he is loved.
