Help Us Lay Our Brother to Rest
On May 24th, our beloved brother and son Elias, only 23 years old, was tragically taken from us in a car accident. We are heartbroken and still trying to make sense of this unimaginable loss.
Elias had a heart that touched everyone who knew him. He was the kind of person who would drop everything to help someone else — always going the extra mile with a smile on his face. Whether you were family, a lifelong friend, or someone he just met, he made you feel seen, heard, and loved.
He leaves behind a large family and a wide circle of friends who are all grieving deeply. We are now facing the unexpected burden of funeral costs and trying to give Elias the memorial he deserves — one filled with love, peace, and the beauty he brought to our lives.
If you’re able, we humbly ask for your support in helping us raise funds for his funeral expenses. Any amount, no matter how small, means the world to us. And if you’re unable to donate, sharing this with others is just as appreciated.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, prayers, and support during this devastating time.
With love,
The Mayeda Family
