Meet Eli Emery Paine

Eli was a fun loving beach boy. He loved collecting sea-glass and hunting for sharks teeth. He enjoyed chasing waves, making sand castles, being buried up to his head in sand and he claimed seaweed was his archnemesis. 

Eli always had a song playing in his head and his feet dancing to that music. He loved his sisters, collecting rocks, ‘biscuit’ trees(hibiscus), doing puzzles, pranks and a good fart joke. 

 Eli was taken, too early, from this life eight days after his seventh birthday by DIPG, a malignant brain tumor. Eli was dubbed “Eli the Brave” for his courage and strength throughout his 14 month battle. His laughter, smile and witty remarks are missed dearly by his family. He is loved beyond measure and we pray for a cure so  no other families have to go through this.
