Elijah Daniel Parfitt (Eli) passed away on April 23, 2025, at the age of 28 near his home in Port Orchard, Washington.

Eli was born on July 9, 1996, in Santa Rosa, California. He grew up in Sonoma County enjoying the great outdoors and graduated from Mesa High School in 2015. From his first dirt bike to his last truck Eli loved anything he could ride or drive, he started riding dirt bikes at the age of 6 and put countless miles on the truck grandpa John bought him when he turned 16. Eli moved to Bremerton Washington in 2016 with family friends Alex and John, and later went on to become a driver for UPS. Eli loved heavy metal music, was an avid reader and enjoyed hiking, fishing, and riding his Harley Davidson. Eli was always kind and considerate and willing to lend a hand.

Eli is survived by his loving mom Kelly Arent, aunt Erica, uncle Nick and his wife Bailey, uncle Chris, great aunt Janie and her husband Jerry, great uncle Patrick, grandpa John and great grandma Carolyn and his cousins Max, Heidi and Charlie. He also leaves behind countless other family members and friends, from California to Washington who will miss him greatly.

Until we meet again, all of us wish him peace and comfort with his grandma Jennie, great grandpa Glen, great grandpa Bill and “the best dogs ever” Thelma and Morgan.

In the words of a great man “Halford still metals and that gives me hope”.
