Elyjah Jeffrey Cade Black

Elyjah Jeffrey Cade Black was born on Monday, April 9th, 2001 in Amarillo, Texas and passed on Thursday, September 26th, 2024. He was witty and comical, always making people laugh. He had the ability to light up any room he was in. His greatest passions included: listening to and playing music, drawing, watching anime, and gaming on his PC with all of his friends. He loved to spend quality time with loved ones. The family would always joke and say that his love language was bully simply because there was nothing, he enjoyed more than picking on his family and close friends. Elyjah would have graduated in May of 2025 with his Bachelors in Biology then would have started medical school at the University of his choice. He was the smartest person in almost every room he walked in, but was also extremely humble. Elyjah was and is still loved by so many people and will be dearly missed.
