The sudden and unexpected loss of Ely has left his wife, Charisse, and their daughter Erlyn Ciara completely heartbroken.

Ely was rushed to the hospital on January 25th as a result of a DUI driver hitting him. He suffered from a severe, traumatic brain injury and peacefully passed away on January 30th due to his injuries. Please help Charisse and Ciara raise money to pay for his final goodbye during this painful, heavy time. Any amount, big or small, is greatly appreciated by us. We want to give Ely the best service possible because he deserves it.

Ely was the most hardworking man and the kindest soul anyone could meet. Everyone that knew him can vouch for his kindness and generosity to those around him. He was deeply devoted to his family and a God-fearing man who created a safe and positive environment for anyone. Ely was an amazing husband, friend, uncle, co-worker and the best girl dad.

Call a ride share. Call a friend. Stay the night. Even if it saves one family from suffering the same heartache, it's more than enough. No buzz/high is worth it.
