Eli loved nature and was an avid outdoorsman; the wilderness was his playground. He summited mountain peaks and loved hiking, snowboarding, hunting, fi shing, dirt biking, mountain biking, kayaking, camping, living life to the fullest and never missing a new adventure or opportunity to learn something new. A beautiful life was taken far too soon. Eli loved his family and friends and his memory will live on in all those who knew and loved him.
