Eddie Elias

Edward "Eddie" Elias, born on January 14, 1981 in Chicago, departed this world on March 12, 2025. Leaving behind a legacy of laughter, kindness, and creativity that touched all who knew him. A gifted artist, Eddie had an extraordinary ability to express himself through drawing, capturing not only the beauty of the world around him but also the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to experience his creations. 

Eddie was a beacon of positivity, renowned for his kind-hearted nature and infectious sense of humor. He had a gift for making people smile, often using jokes and light-hearted banter to lift the spirits of those around him. His warmth and generosity were evident in everything he did, and he took genuine joy in giving to others.

Eddie is remembered fondly by his loving mother, Anita Winters, and step-father, Anton Winters, as well as his father, Eddie Mireles. He also cherished his sisters, Veronica, Valerie (along with brother-in-law Erick), and Vivian while being a proud uncle to his nieces: Alexandra, Arianna, and Hayley, and his nephew, Adrian. He also held a special place in his heart for his fiancé, Marizol (Chachi) Santana, and his step-children, Caleb and Nyema, who were a bright spot in his life. Eddie was blessed to have his grandpa, Henry, by his side, alongside many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and friends who will carry forward the cherished memories of his life.

Though Eddie faced heartbreak in his lifetime with the loss of his daughter, Catherine Anita, his niece, Natalie Bianca, his Grandma Amelia, his Aunt Meha, and his cousin Rico, these loved ones, having already crossed over, welcomed him with open arms.

As we remember Eddie Elias, we hold dear the countless memories anchored by his joyous smile and laugh. His spirit will forever resonate within the hearts of those he touched. While he may have left this earthly realm, the love he shared and the art he created will continue to inspire and uplift. Eddie's kind heart, playful sense of humor, and artistic spirit will be missed profoundly but never forgotten.
