Tina and Robert, Eli is in heaven playing his guitar and singing at this very moment, not to mention telling a joke or two. It was an honor and a wonderful experience to have met and spend the time and laughs that I did with him. We had a special bond and I will never forget that. I thank you both for helping make Eli the man he was. I love you both and continue to pray for you....Tank, you brightened my life in so many ways and I am proud of you for what you accomplished. I know you will never lose that beautiful smile. Thank you for the memories. I love you, Tiny- Tina Brown
I am so very sorry for your loss. I knew Eli when we were younger, but it sounds like his great personality never changed. He used to play a song by Richard Marx over the phone for me when he first got his keyboard. The name of the song was "Right Here Waiting For You" I would be willing to bet that he is in Heaven looking upon all of the people he loved and playing the very same song. Becky and Robbbie, you and your family are in my prayers!

Eli was one of my students at IBS and he was one of the people that I really looked forward to seeing everyday. He alway had a way of making me laugh. If a problem happened, he was always the first one to step up and ask what he could do to help fix it. I was extremely shocked to hear of his untimely passing. My thought and prayers are with his family and friends.- L. Nick Gage
I used to play with Becky, Eli,and Robbie when they lived a few doors up the street from me. He was always a happy person. May god less the whole family.- Christy McCorquodale-Larry
I SPENT TWENTY FIVE WONDERFUL YEAR WITH YOU. WE NEVER HAD A DULL MOMENT. YOU WERE A BEST FRIEND, A WONDERFUL BROTHER AND A BEST FRIEND TO MY SON (YOUR NEPHEW). I LOVE YOU ELI AND I AM ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU DAY IN-DAY OUT.
LOVE, SIS- BECKY GALVAN
I can still hear you laughing...telling us not to worry because you are in a MUCH better place. You are with us forever.- Jaime Collinsworth
I think of you everyday when I look at Isaiah. He has your smile and your personality and it grows everyday. Sometimes after people pass you seem to forget the little things. I haven’t because the little things live in him. Thank you for giving me the best gift in my life. He makes me laugh like you did and he even picks on me, a little, like you did. You were the best friend I ever had and you were a best friend to many. You worried about everyone but yourself at times. I have never met a more empathetic person. I know you are playing your heart out.

My uncle Eli was like a dad to me even though he was my uncle. but I had a lot of fun times with him and I
cherished the moments we had.- Daniel Keith Galvan
It's been 3 years since you left to be with the Lord. I know he needed you for His own reasons. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't say your name,think of you or talk about the ways you've lifted me when I needed you. Daniel and Bethanie think and speak of their Uncle Eli often. Your memories never fade. It's like you are always there.We love you and miss you BUBBA.- Becky Galvan
My chunky punk...NO words can express the sadness that lingers here in my heart since you left. I miss you everyday. Missing you for the rest of my life. Your sweet pea. - Sarah Turner
Hey Baby Huey,
There not a day that doesn\'t go by that I don\'t think about you, I miss you so much, you left a emptiness that I can\'t explain but I\'m sure God had his reasons for taking you away. When I see your mom, dad,sis and brother and the unexplainable stregnth they show to all of us for moving forward,there are no words to express what keeps them going other than the Love that you have given them.I know some day we will all be together again to smile,laugh,cry,hug, and kiss and sing(even if we dont have your talent). My children adored you, and as for John, I know he is still so lost without you but has moved on with a God Blessed family. The Children miss you and it feels great to here them say what they remember about you. Thanks for the God given gifts you left behind baby Elias and baby eli and peewee.Always in my memories but mostly in my heart.
Sending my Love
(Aunt) Hopie - hope v Armijo
