Remembering Eli: Support for Funeral and Community

The world lost a great human. Eli was a wonderful boy and is not with us way before his time. He loved sports and was an avid Diamondbacks, Suns, and Cardinals fan.

Eli deeply loved his Catholic faith, and loved serving as an altar server for many years at St. Mary Magdalene. He was very active in and loved attending St. Mary’s youth group (EDGE), and was very involved within their church community. He was a hard worker, often working multiple jobs and eager for more. His favorite job was working part time at his younger brother’s school, St. Monica’s, where the children adored him, and affectionately called him “Mr. Eli.” He was an amazing chess player, played piano beautifully, and could tell you just about any baseball or football stat you asked for.

Please help me support the Mikus family through this tragedy by donating to his funeral fund. All funds will go towards the following causes: funeral expenses, the St. Mary Magdalene Building Fund, the St. Mary Magdalene EDGE/GS24 youth groups and St. Monica's School.
