It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Elijah Carothers, a bright and promising soul taken from us far too soon. Elijah, of Escondido, California, was just 18 years old when he departed from this world on November 22, 2024. A kind and compassionate young man, Elijah will be remembered for his infectious laugh, his love of adventure, and his unwavering loyalty to those he held dear. His absence leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew him, but his spirit will live on in the memories he created with those who were lucky enough to know him. Elijah Carothers, may you rest in eternal peace.
