Family and Friends,

Many have reached out and asked how you can help during this challenging time for our family, and this has been suggested. This has been so unexpected.

The sudden passing of Eli has been greatly felt by all who knew him. Though upon first look, many would be intimidated by his size, they soon learned that he was a great big teddy bear. Eli was passionate about his family, his friends, and the Raiders. I often joked that football and the Raiders came before us all.

At our wedding, I was told till death do us part, but I find that after 25 years of marriage, death has come too soon. He was blessed with many names during his life, but the two he was most proud of were daddy and Papa.

We are fundraising to help cover the unexpected expenses related to Eli's passing.

This fundraiser is for Eli's family, who are navigating this difficult time.
