Eliot Lurier

On December Eighth, Eliot Lurier, a pillar of wisdom and strength, passed away in his home suddenly at the age of sixty-six. He was a beloved and cherished husband, father, and friend whose presence brought warmth and guidance to those who knew him.

Eliot’s unwavering and fierce love and dedication to his family was defining of his life.

He leaves behind his devoted wife & soulmate Amy, with whom he shared a lifetime of love and partnership. His daughters Emily and Hannah were the pride of his life. His legacy of integrity, responsibility and kindheartedness lives on through them. He was also a caring father-in-law to Emily’s husband, Ben and Hannah’s Fiancé, Kyle, whom he welcomed into the family with open arms. Their presence enriched his life, and their love was always cherished by Eliot.

Eliot bravely battled type I diabetes throughout the vast majority of his life, showing staunch resilience and determination through many of the challenges surrounding what he often referred to as ‘his disease’. He found great joy in caring for his family and home including their beloved dog Gus, creating a beautiful environment filled with love, some barking and much laughter. Countless friends and loved ones will remember his ability to light up a room with his hilarious and infectious sense of humor.

A man of boundless generosity, Eliot’s impact extended far beyond his family. His career in finance and passion for caring for those with diabetes led him to become CFO of Joslin Diabetes Center, a position he was passionate and dedicated to for ten years. His wisdom, sense of humor, and unwavering support will be dearly missed by his family, friends and many acquaintances he made throughout his long career.

Although Eliot’s physical form is no longer with us, his memory will continue to shine brightly in our hearts and bring us joy when we think of the time that was taken from him and the moments not yet shared. Let us honor the values he held dear and carry forward his legacy of love and kindness.

Shiva will be held at the Lurier residence from Monday December 10, 2023 thru Friday December 15, 2023 from 2PM to 4PM and 7PM to 9PM
