God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain; but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.

Eli was my coworker, part-time roommate, and most importantly, my friend. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. Always with a smile or something funny to say, Eli knew how to brighten up your day. A dedicated and talented individual that accomplished so many mile stones in his 55 years. A decorated Army veteran that was awarded numerous medals and commendations from a multitude of missions across the globe. A dedicated law enforcement officer that could reach out to so many nationalities. A talented electrician that could fix any kind of problem here in the “hood”. The Sanford Police Department has truly lost one of the good guys.
Can’t think of a better fitting prayer, that ironically come from the movie “The Book of Eli”
Dear Lord, thank you for giving me the strength and the conviction to complete the task you entrusted to me. Thank you for guiding me straight and true through the many obstacles in my path. And for keeping me resolute when all around seemed lost. Thank you for your protection and your many signs along the way. Thank you for any good that I may have done, I'm so sorry about the bad. Thank you for the friends I made. Please watch over them as you watched over me. Thank you for finally allowing me to rest. I'm so very tired, but I go now to my rest at peace. Knowing that I have done right with my time on this earth. I fought the good fight, I finished the race, I kept the faith.
Rest in peace my friend.
