Eli was born on January 12, 2015, in Hackensack, NJ to parents Eddie and Chanel. He was the younger brother to Aiden. He was known to his family, friends and teachers as a child who loved life, lived each day to its fullest and shined a light wherever he went. Eli was intelligent, funny, and kind to everyone he met.
He loved playing basketball and soccer; both of which he actively played until his health declined. When not playing sports, Eli loved hanging out with Aiden and the family dog, Angel.
Eli is survived by his parents, Eddie and Chanel, his brother, Aiden, grandparents Larry and Valentina Arhagba of Richmond, Texas; grandparents, Gilbert and Shelia Raines of Keller, Texas; great-grandmother, Alma Hardy of McKenney, Virginia and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
