Eli, at just eight years old, was a joyful, bright, and curious child whose laughter could light up a room. He was a loving son, a cherished friend, and a student who left a lasting impression on everyone he met. His boundless energy and kindness made him a favorite among his classmates and teachers, who now grieve the loss of a boy with a future so full of promise.
