Elliot Aren Freeman (75) was welcomed into his eternal home on March 17, 2021. Loving husband to Helen, inspiring father to Jordan, Michael and Jeanette (daughter-in-law), adoring Pa to Rylee, Peyton and Kennedy, brother to Arleen, Rob, Regina (sister-in-law), Donna (late sister-in-law), Howard (brother-in-law), Bernadette (sister-in-law), uncle to Rachel and Rebbeca and beloved friend of many.
Elliot was a man that embodied the attributes of strength, generosity, intelligence and devotion. As a tremendous athlete, he taught his sons how to be fearless and strong all while supporting others along the way. Elliot devoted his life to helping others find peace. His compassion, empathy and fondness for academics shone through in his work as a pharmacist and as a leader in the Messianic Jewish religious community. His vast love of nature allowed him to find grace in everything, especially Helen, his most beautiful flower. He was a welcoming man whose laugh could light up a room and make anyone feel like a part of the family.
Our hearts will be forever broken but we will hold tight to our cherished memories which will ignite the spark that lights our way forward.
