Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Brother Ray, My Sweetheart and are praying for you. We were blessed to have been a friend of Elliot’s and to know the love he had for his Lord, his family, and his friends. I am praying for grace for you and your family as you feel the absence of his presence, but it is only temporary. Your Forever Friend, Pastor & Mrs. Dexter L. Taylor
Dear Davidson family, We are saddened to hear of Mr. Leggett’s passing. But we know he is with His Lord, rejoicing in His presence. We’ll always remember his kindness in bringing Hannah to Haly’s grandma’s funeral wondering Where in the world is this place anyway!!! But that meant SO MUCH to Haly. More than you’ll ever know. And then he’d run the kids to games and chauffeur them around so they could all meet up for some fun and fellowship. He was a good grandpa! We’d have a good time visiting while the kids were hanging out. We did disagree on some food preferences though-a definite Southern gentlemen!!! May the Lord give you peace and strength at this time. And we’ll be praying for Ray as he gives the Gospel at the service. Many blessings, John and Deidra Hendricks
I am sorry for your loss, praying for all the family to know the comfort that comes with knowing he is with Jesus.
Elliott was so kind and gentle. I am so glad he was able to move to Manhattan, KS for a time so that we could get to know him and how much he loved the Lord. He encouraged me to pursue Christ even more. I rejoice that Elliott is now with his beloved Saviour Jesus Christ and that we will see Elliott again in glory. I am so sorry for the grief and loss that all of Elliott’s loved ones are going through. May you find you Comfort, Hope and Strength in God– the One Who knows and can heal every hurt. He will help you through every day. Blessed be God, even the Father or our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation… 2 Cor. 13-4a

My prayers are with Elliott’s family in the loss of a great man. He was an incredible person who was so full of life. He once told me that to live everyday is to find joy in every chance you can. I will never forget the stories and amazing experiences he shared. May God Bless you in this time.
