Elijah Raygor Obituary

Another year has past without your wonderful smile here but know you are smiling up in heaven. You still are greatly missed. I remember the joy you brought to your family. Your in my thoughts young man!

Thinking of your beautiful personality and smile young man! Also thinking of your family who miss you here but will see you again!

Eli was always the type of person you yourself would like to be. The man was always at peace with the world, or if he wasn't he would make it seem that way. I know that if he were with us today physically rather than spiritually he would want us to all live together in peace and harmony. My deepest most heartfelt condolences go out to Ro, Dan, Celia, and Joni. We have all endured a lot this year with E and Craig's untimely passing but we are all here for each other. I really hope this next year will be a joyous one.

Find peace and comfort in the precious memories you will carry forever in your heart of Eli. In moments of sorrow, remember his smile, his laughter. He has touched more lives than you even realize. Know that Eli was a wonderful young man whom will be missed and remembered by many. To us left behind, it is hard to understand why such a young life would be ended so soon. Remember though, God is in control and He has His own plans for each of us. They may not be the plans we set out for ourselves or our children, but they are His plans and we must trust in Him. In only God's perfect timing, He took Eli home while he was doing something he loved. Hold on to your memories and look forward to the day of reunion, as it will come, according to God's plan.



Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God's love and strength will sustain you and carry you through.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Even though it has been years since the CMTRA days...It seems like just the other day we were all riding motorcycles at the Larkspur or Peyton tracks.

Eli was a kind loving young man. We all could have learned from him. He had a beautiful smile and a heart of gold. All of us that worked with Eli loved him, but I know that God loved him best of all and he is

safely home in the arms of Jesus. I am so sorry for your loss. We will all miss Eli dearly. God bless you and the family.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Craig and Ro - It is certainly beyond my comprehension and vocabulary to express how I feel for you and your family. The entire Raygor family has been a huge part of my life and I feel sorrow as if family. As always, my very best hopes and prayers for you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Eli was one of the few people in life you meet and just like right away. I loved talking to him and getting to see his smile. He touched many people and will be missed forever. I hope you find some comfort in knowing how much he was loved by his friends. May the Lord bless you and give you peace.

My husband and I wish to send our condolences to the family. We want you to know that we have fond memories of Eli while in grade school in Calhan Public School. He was such a sweet natured little boy and always ready to learn anything. We were saddened deeply to learn of his untimely death, but glad to know he went doing something he loved to do.

Craig and Rojean-

Our very deepest sympathy and love go to you. I don't really know what to say. I'm so thankful that you know the strength, comfort and healing of our LORD. Our children going to be with HIM first is not something any of us expect to happen, nor are we prepared for that. Please, cling to HIM to comfort you!!! We love you and our prayers will be with you!

Eli will be missed dearly. It's so hard to believe someone so young and full of life had to leave us so early. I'm sure god is taking care of him in Heaven. I just wish I had a chance to get to know him better. He will never be forgotten and will always be loved.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
