Where has the time gone? Its 2 years already...Rest in peace.

Dearest Elliott
I am so shocked and deeply saddened to hear of your sudden death. We hit it off as colleagues and friends immediately. I can still see your huge infectious smile and your wonderful voice. May you rest in eternal peace my friend.
Love Andie x

Elliott.
I only knew you while at school and that was some years ago…
But - I remember you as one lovely guy. You were maybe my house captain or something senior and above me, and I was always up to cheeky mischief BUT you were always a friend to me. You took it all in your stride and as they say it’s not the destination but the path you take. There is a lesson for us all in my memories of you. Much love to your family and friends x.

Dear brother Elliott … I so regret that stupid argument we had and spent a lot of time last year trying to contact you and apologise. We could not be sadder to read of your passing. May Lord Jesus protect you in his strong, loving arms until we can meet again in his Kingdom and I can offer you the apology that you deserve. We will remember your wife & beautiful children in our thoughts and prayers … Neil.

Hey Elliott was looking to catch up this week with you and JD, we will meet you later mate...

Fondly remember the times at Pierrepont School in 1980's, you were the most diligent student yet still managed to have fun and laugh. (Oh what an infectious laugh!!)

Great times playing rugby and athletics. The usual banter and jokes at the dinner table during meal times, the comical moments with masters who were from a different era, probably to be expected...

Will let the rest of old boys know you have moved on.

All the best Elliott,

Martyn Russell

What a way to path..... Gdnite Dude

It’s hard to think I am writing this tribute for you Uncle Elliot. It still doesn’t feel real or right...
I can’t talk about my life without talking about you. You’ve been there for me at every stage of my life. Right from when I was a child up until now. I still remember going to the New Yorker restaurant with you, my parents and Ese. I remember all the times growing up that we would spend with you all in Mill Hill. Who could forget our time in Jo-burg for you and Aunty Myrna’s fabulous wedding? What a swell time!

At every point in my life you have looked out for me. When I started my career, after uni you always encouraged me, motivated me and told me how proud you were of my achievements. When everyone else doubted me, you believed in me. I never forget when you saw fashion articles I had written online and sent them to my dad. You were always so proud of me. Your encouragement meant everything to me. Everything.

I never forget during my wedding when you turned up unexpectedly and replied to my surprise “I wouldn’t miss your big day for anything! Ah ah. You’re getting married! You’re now a madam oh!” There’s so much more I could write. So many memories. So many things to show what a truly great man you were. A fantastic uncle/cousin and a devoted nephew to my dad. You were funny, charming, caring, supportive, understanding, easy to talk to, non-judgemental. You were awesome. Simply awesome.

Uncle, the pain of losing you has cut me deep, but your memories live deeper in my heart. Thank you for everything. May you rest in the bosom of the lord in perfect everlasting peace. Until we meet again. You remain forever in my heart, Mrs Kiki (Ruki) Solade.

Right from the very first moments we met, you should a warm friendship that was kind and humble. I will miss our encouragements to each other as cycling enthusiasts. Your departure has certainly created a huge void for many, most especially your family.
May the Almighty Lord grant your family the strength and tenacity to bear your depadture. You will be very much missed. It is well with your soul. Journey well my dear brother Elly!
May your kind and gentle soul rest in peace.

Where do I start? I am still numb with pain on your passing 'Elli Boy' as a good many of us call you. I am still totally shocked and lost for words!
One can't sometimes help asking God why a wonderful person like you should depart the earth now and so suddenly? Your big broad smile, your infectious laughter with your 'English-speaking accent' will always linger on in my head as I remember the 'Hendon' days. The earth has definitely lost an amazing person, but the heavens have gained a real gem. The Lord giveth and he taketh. You have definitely gone too soon!!
May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace Bro until we meet some day.
My heart felt condolences to your entire family at this difficult and challenging times. May the good Lord give them the strength and fortitide to bear your passing Adieu Elly

We met in 1992 during our post graduate studies at Middlesex university and instantly became close buddies. A bro to my wife and children. We went my to Spain together with Bola and Justina in 1993, my first real vacation in the UK. So much fun and memories.
It hurts so much to accept that I will never come face to face with you again. I will always remember that welcoming smile and loud from the heart laughter of yours. Never a dull moment with you.
May the Lord comfort all those you left behind. Rest in Peace IJMN. Amen 

Miss your stories, miss playing sport with you, miss your smile and banter. You left us too soon but we are resigned to the fact that God knows best. Sleep well my friend. Rest in peace. Amen!

Wow Elliot! What a shocking premature exit. I pray God Almighty rests your soul in peace. May He grant your dear mum the strength to bear what must be a devastating loss to her and to the rest of your family. My heartfelt condolences to your wife Myrna and children Meghan, Ryan, Olivia and Jared to whom you were doubtless a great husband and father. You were always a good, gentle lad from when I first met you as a teenager in 1981. I remember you fondly. I remember you as my witness and best man at my wedding. I remember your visits, utmost humility and the chats we used to have. I wish you didn’t go so early but God knows best. Rest well Elliot. Rest well!

This is so sad and such a shock for me. You were a joy to meet and it’s been great teaming up on some work projects. Your professional energy was contagious and it will be sad not seeing you at Spine congresses and rushing around for meetings in London. Going to Whipps Cross hospital will not be the same. I will miss seeing you.

My thoughts are with your family.

I have known Elliott for almost 20 years since I first introduced him into the world of spinal sales. His energy and enthusiasm were magnetic and we quickly became solid professional friends. He was honest, dependable and a lot of fun! He was a great role model for anyone wanting build a career in medical devices. It was always a joy to spend time with him, to share a meal or a drink and hear him talk about his family.
We will miss him and can only send support and best wishes to all of his family.

Dear cousin Elliott, your life was cruelly curtailed, but you packed in so much in your amazing life. I can remember us as very young children growing up together, aged about 6 and 8, playing football with the older brothers/cousins. From such humble beginnings you went to run a successful business and have 4 wonderful children. You will be missed, but never forgotten, and will remain always in our thoughts and prayers. Love Hope, Osayi, Jacob and Adam

Uncle! It is with deepest sorrow and sadness that I write this tribute to you because your death came as a shock to me. You were an uncle in a million; humble, kind, loving, caring and good at Heart and Soul!!!.

Whenever you came to Nigeria, I am the one taking you various places, especially going to see your Mum. I find it difficult to visit your mum now because whenever she sees me, she start crying saying Obus! Where is your Brother? Your brother has ran away, he has left me. She will start remembering everything you are doing for her, monthly money you always send to her, the good medical care etc. Who will do these things for me now?

My uncle was a good man, he has touched my life in so many ways, I will grately miss him, words can't describe this difficult moment, but if this is the last time I get to say goodbye then, I will do it with all my heart because I know you are with the Lord.
I thank the Lord for your Life and bid you farewell.
Until we meet again.

Goodbye Dearest UNCLE.

Your little brother Obus

This is so sad for me, especially knowing that your death will hit my Sister so hard. You were a wonderful nephew and a beautiful soul. Although, you are older than I am, whenever you are in Nigeria and you want to introduce me to your friends, you will always use the word My Small Aunty.
You loved your family and always attended family events, I cant forget all the times I visited London, you created time to visit me and my family.
We will miss you dearly!!!
May your sweet soul find rest with the Lord.
Good night beloved Nephew Elliot!
Your Small Aunty, Mrs Caroline Chibuzor-Iloh & Family.

I've known Elliott for over half my life. We called each other 'Bahdi', derived from 'bahd guy', because he loved his Nija lingo. Though slightly older (a fact that would have mattered when we met) we hit it off pretty well, and I supported him through many of his key life milestones, learning an awful lot from and about him in the process. We had quite a few things in common, though we differed strongly on his taste in football teams! We both loved driving, and we shared some pretty good road trips across England and in Europe togther. I loved the fact that he stayed true to his ideals around family, friendships and his business focus, even when things didn't always go to plan. Even after I relocated to Nigeria, he always sought me out on every trip he made here. He was bursting with energy, full of life! Who could have known that he was living with such a potentially devastating condition. His passing has come as a rude shock, and that's putting it mildly.

Farewell my Bahdi! May your star never dim.

Eliot was a wonderful nephew, it breaks our hearts to know that you're no longer with us. I pray the good Lord comforts your family.

Uhmmm really don't know what to say uncle...with tears in our eyes when the news of your Death hit us all I could ever think of was your Mum... I pray for God Grace upon her , your wife and kids... May your soul keep resting in the Lord till we meet to part no More ...
Your cousin
