In his last weeks and months Elliot spoke with excitement about all his hopes and dreams for the future. From the time he was a small child, Elliot had a certain light about him. Throughout his life he had a wonderful way of bringing delight and joy to others - even in the most difficult times and under the hardest circumstances. Those who knew him well think of his exuberant dancing, kindness, excellence, playfulness and drive. Elliot was a consummate natural in the kitchen. He knew how to make the perfect cocktail, the most delicious meal. His family, friends, and the regulars at the places he worked loved being around him and enjoying his latest creation. Elliot was an accepting young man who had a way of making even people he'd just met feel loved, seen and important. Elliot understood how to make things better, in simple but significant ways - he made the world he inhabited brighter. His tragic and early death left a hole in the lives of many, and his family and friends are grieving.
