Elijah was born in Corry, on November 28, 2003, a son of Heidi Marie Chatley.
He was a member of St. Agatha Roman Catholic Church where he was looking forward to making the Sacrament of First Holy Communion this year. He was proud to be a Reader at Mass and practiced very hard to do a good job.
Elijah was in third grade at Seton School where he had been a student since preschool.
