Emigdio Elizarraras Obituary

Hello,

We apologize for being so late in expressing our deepest condolences to you and your family. We want you to know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this holiday season and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Emigdio Elizarraras US Army Master Sergeant.

We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families, friends and others who support our mission.

We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

I just want to send my thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Master Sgt. Emigdio Elizarraras. I pray that God provides strength and peace in each of your journeys. He will not be forgotten.

Another anniversary of your loss has come and gone my friend and I want you to know that you will never be forgotten. You hold a very special place in our hearts and that is where we keep you all of the time. Please know that time does not heal all and that it seems just like yesterday when we heard the news that you had left this earth to carry on your mission with our God...we love and miss you very much ; brother.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I pray your resting in peace; and for blessings on your family, friends and fellow warriors. Thank you again brother in arms.

May God bless your family and may you share in heavenly peace. You are a true Hero, and have motivated me to be a better person in your honor. Thank you for your superior dedication and super human like abilities in service to our grateful Nation. You and your 7th Group selfless sacrifices will always be my proudest witness in my life, in your taking the fight to our enemies. I hope to one day live up to your example and if not, continue to share with my children and others in how truly awesome and heroic you are. I cant express enough how much I wish you were here today and at the same time must humbly write thank you. Your brother-in-Arms, Tank

Another year has passed my brother, the only thing that I can do is to continue to leave messages for you here and to only hope and pray that you are able to see them and pass along the information to your God Son and our boy that we lost over 3 years ago...You are missed my friend....and time does not heal all. We have lost touch with Kris, so it seems as if we have lost touch with the memories of all of the times that we shared and spent together...Painfully we try and struggle through our lives and maintain as you would want us too...you are missed my friend, more than you will ever know. As you celebrate in heaven, please let our beloved son know that we still love him and miss him so very much...

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Thank you for your faithful service and selfless sacrifice, you are a true leader and warrior taking the fight to the enemy in preservation of our freedoms. I pray you are at peace knowing our Nation is greatful and our thoughts are with you and your family, especially today. Your courage and bravery 11 years ago has shaped my life and still inspires me to be a better person in your honor. May God bless your family, you will never be forgotten.

Hijo querido siempre estas en nuestro pensamiento,te recordamos con mucha honra y respeto,hoy es un dia mas de tu ausencia fisica, pero tu vives en nuestros corazones y siempre estas con nosotros,Gracias por tu sacrificio, Con Mucho amor from ,Dad and Mom Emigdio and Martha Elizarraras

I'm Sending my condolences to the family, sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in Gods word. Micah 4:3,4

Another year has passed my brother and I still miss you and all of the times that we had. Although time continues to pass, the pain of losing you nor your God son eases any. I can only hope and pray that you and Tyler are smiling down at all of us!!

Honoring my brothers memory. Its still hard to understand and make Sense as to the loss of not having you in our lives. Every day I think of you. Your children are what we are left with and I am grateful for that. I keep on keeping on cause you wouldnt settle for any less.

Son, another day, another year you are
always here in our hearts and our minds
we love you son, dad and mom in loving memory Emigdio and Martha Elizarraras FEB28TH 2015

My daughter turned six years old not long ago. As I watch her grow, I often think about your children. Although I'll likely never meet them, I still pray for them while I'm holding my daughter close and thanking God for her. While I wish I could say that I've appreciated every minute of my life for the gift that it is over these past nine years, I fear that far too often I allow myself to get distracted with the trivial problems of daily life.
I've slowly come to understand that because of you, I am more mindful of the gift of time and how quickly it passes. I'll continue to pray for your children every time I say a prayer for mine and I will try harder to honor your sacrifice by doing my best to cherish the days that will become tomorrow's memories.

My Hero Eymo,
it is another year
Without you ,
It is still so difficult!
your ultimate Sacrifice it's so meaningful to all of us.
We thank you for giving us the Freedom we are having now!
Miss you so much,
We think of you everyday

Love you
Tia Rosa

MSGT Elizarraras:
I continue to pray for you and your family as I strive to live another year in a way that is worthy of your sacrifice.

I am so sorry for your loss of your Husband, Father, and Son. I served with Emigdio in Hawaii. He was and forever will be a great MAN. I will forever remember him. My prayers will always be with your family.

Recently heard about your loss from Rosa. I am so sorry for your loss. I did't know your son but am a Mother and can not imagine the emptiness it would leave. My thoughts are with you and your family.

My brother...life still goes on, but it is ot the same without you. This world lost a good man in 2006 and the war still rages in that far away land. I feel very guilty that I was not with...I probably should not have retired when I did, and maybe I could have done something. Miss you bro!

Always remembering Emigdio. "Some gave all."

February 28th, 2012
Querido hijo te recuerdo con amor

Hoy es un dia muy especial en mi vida
un dia con sentimientos mesclados,
hay dolor y hay alegria
Dolor al sentir tu aucencia
aunque en mi alma te has quedado.
Alegria al recordar tu voz tu mirada y tu sonrisa.
llenastes de honor y orgullo el camino de tu vida,
con valor y humildad tu mundo recorrias
hoy descansas en paz en tu morada,
y yo, yo terecuerdo cada dia

Hoy es un dia especial
hay dolor y hay alegria........
Dedicado en memoria de mi hijo

Happy Holidays my brother! I can remember celebrating many of them with your family in Hawaii...The memories of having to deal with my less than courteous neighbors on Christmas and New Years Eve...All my memories of you are fond..Still miss you as I always done...I want you to know that I built an obstacle course at the school where I work and named it after you, it was the least I can do...

Eymo I Miss YOU, each and everyday that goes by my thoughts and prayers are there for YOU, your mom, dad, Sister and most of all your children. It's been very difficult understanding reason why you are NO longer with us, but I know for sure you are watching over us " From a Distance"
I LOVE YOU and Miss YOU so much.
Tia Rosa .

DAD AND MOM.

It has been quite some time that I have left a message for my brother and his family. I felt the urge to come here tonight for some reason I could not figure out, and as I sat here trying to figure out what to type...it was as clear as the nose on my face. I miss my brother, simple as that. I hope that you know of the impact that not only on my life but, the life of everyone you ever came into contact with. You will never be forgotten...

Love Ya Brother, carry on!!
Al

Kris So sorry for ur loss...

On behalf of my family I thank you for remembering him. all of your words are so inspiring and I know that he would be honored to know that he touched so many in life and in spirit. I too find myself touching my bracelet in tough times. Not one day goes by that I do notthink of him. with much gratitude and honor - Letty Elizarraras Aguilar

To the family of MSGT Elizarraras:
This day is etched in my memory forever. I still wear the bracelet that bears his name and this date to serve as a reminder not only of his sacrifice, but also of the sacrifice his wife and 3 children made for our country.

EZ has been a part of my life from the day he was placed in my care by his brothers. I think about him and his family every day as I do my best to honor his memory by recognizing the blessings that have been bestowed upon me and by trying to make the most of each day I am given. Every day, as I find myself in the midst of everyday problems and “stressful” situations, I find myself touching the bracelet, keeping me mindful of the true perspective of things. Each night, as I put my 2 year old daughter to bed, I am keenly aware of how fortunate I am to be able to do so.

Often, late at night, I walk my floors and listen to my daughter and beloved wife breathing. At those times, I think about EZ and I grieve because he cannot do the same. In these moments the full weight of his sacrifice becomes so painfully clear. Then, as I often do, I pray for him and his family. I also pray to God that I am now, and will always be, a worthy beneficiary of EZ’s sacrifice and the sacrifice of the Elizarraras family.

To Emigdio's family today and sending my love. He will never be forgotten!!

To the family and friends of Master Sgt. Emigdio Elizarraras:

I miss you everyday...please know that your memory of all of the good time that we had in Hawaii will never, ever fade...Your Godson will graduate in May and he never forgets his "Uncle Eymo" Rest in Peace warrior...

Your Brother,
AL

To the Family of MSGT Elizarraras:
On the 28th of February 2006 I was the Flight Medic aboard a helicopter that landed on a dusty patch of ground to take him home. It is a day I will never forget. You should know that Emigdio was gently and reverently placed in my care by his brothers from his team. In the few minutes we all shared in the landing zone it was apparent that Emigdio was deeply loved and greatly respected. His journey with our crew and the ceremony we later participated in to pay our respects and send him home were events characterized by profound respect for Emigdio and the ideals for which he stood. To this day, I wear a bracelet bearing his name, the date, and the place where he became part of my life. It reminds me of what he sacrificed for us, the love and respect he earned, and the greater good he selflessly served. I think about Emigdio every day as I carry his name with me, just as I carried him on that day. Each day, he helps me to live honorably and reminds me of the price he and his family paid for the liberty & security my family enjoy.

I served with (then Corporal) Emigdio Elizarraras at Ft. Campbell we were Team Leaders in the same Squad. He was a great man. Kris I am sorry we lost contact with you over the years. Please know you're all in our prayers. I was not surprised to see Rambo went on to be SF. Miss ya brother!

To the family of Master Sgt. Emigdio Elizarraras:
Emigdio gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

My condolences to the Elizarraras family. I know Emigdio back in his 101st days he was the 60 gunner for my rifle squad. We used to call him Rambo because no one could pronounce his name. He was a great soldier so it's no surprise he was in Special Forces. Rest in peace soldier you'll be missed

Miss you brother...

To the Elizarraras family.

My name is Arturo Elizarraras, from Mexico City. I imagine that we are relatives in some degree. I know that I have family in California. Searching my last name roots I found the info about Mst Sgt Elizarraras. I'm so sorry about your loss. It looks that he was a great man, a brave warrior and he loved so much his country and his family. My condolences from Mexico. It would have been an honor to knew him personally, a Special Forces heroe with the same last name as me.
With respect and admiration.

I am very sorry for your loss. May God be with your family until one day you are all united again.

On this Memorial Day you are remembered and respected. Thank you Master Sgt Elizarraras!

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Master Sgt Elizarraras and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

Please know how Deeply Sorry I was to learn of the loss of Master Sgt. Emigdio Elizarraras, one year ago today.

The price this Brave Soldier and his family have paid for this country and for freedom, Will Never Be Forgotten.
May Emigdio rest safely in the Loving Care of God and may the Grace and Comfort of the Lord continue to be with the Elizarraras family.
There will Never be Enough Ways to Humbly Thank these Heroes for their Supreme Sacrifice, my brother among them. KIA~Vietnam, 1967.

and He shall sustain thee."
~ Psalm 55:22 ~

May the Peace of God and your memories of Emigdio, remain in your heart always.
May this give you comfort and strength through the difficult days.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Elizarraras Family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I was one of the aircrew on the helicopter that started Emigdio's journey home. While on the ground I witnessed an act that will always be with me. An act of respect and of friendship, a farwell embrace between Brothers. It was a simple hug, but it communicated so much more. Though I never knew him through the writings of others I feel I have. His memory lives on.

I had the pleasure to meet the Elizarraras family at Snowball Express this past weekend. I was honored that they presented me with a bracelet in remembrance of MSG Emigdio E. Elizarraras. Mr. Elizarraras I didn’t know you, but your life, dreams and ambitions lives within the hearts of your wife and children.

With utmost respect,

To the Elizarraras familly, I have been in the same unit Ez was in since I arrived in Bragg over 4 years ago. From the day I first met him he struck me as a good man who would greet a stranger new to the unit, he was one of the first friendly faces I remember upon arriving to the unit. I was also deployed with him in afghanistan, and will forever remember the last time I saw him as he got ready to leave the safety of the compound, the news of his death struck me and the rest of the men at the base very hard, my condolences go out to the entire Elizarraras familly.

Kris, I have been trying to locate you and Eymo when I came across the bad news. He will always be remembered in spirit. He always had a smile and a good laugh.

Love you much,



Chris Paniccioli

To the Elizarraras Family,

I worked with EZ in the infamous SOA, Ft. Benning Ga, he was and always be a true proffesional. After several years I bumped in to him back in Bragg and just eight months ago in lago agrio Ecuador. in good spirits, I will keep you in prayers and I know that he is looking upon his family God bless you. A great loss to our SF and Ranger Community.

Psalm 23



1

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3

He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.



This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock! And that we now know our "Guardian Angel" personally!



My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!

Thank you Emigdio for your self less service. I deeply appreciate all you did to keep my family safe. Blessings to your family.

This guest book is very touching. It sounds like a lot of great families lost some incredible people.



I want to tell each and everyone one of you, they are very special people to us. I do not personally know any of these folks, but they will always be heros in my eyes. The sacraficed their lifes for the good of this great country we live in. There are very few people out there that have the patriotic spirit that they held.





May God Bless them always

It is always hard to hear about a fallen comrade in arms. I knew EZ as we were both instructors at School of the Americas, Fort Benning GA. He is in heaven with the same ambitions he had on earth. God bless the family of this fallen warrior. If there is anything I can do as a fellow Special Forces brother, and friend please reach out. It is a very sad day for me to hear this news. He is a warrior and will always share a place in my heart.

We care and share in your sorrow.

Kris, my thoughts and deepest sympathy are with you and the kids. Love, Hollie

My deepest sympathys from my family and I to you and yours. May God keep and bless you. A fallen soldier is like a risen star, he is something we can't help but look up to. The purest of heros are men such as Emigdio, may God keep and bless him always.



sincerely,

Tom and Margie Casey

To the Elizarraras Family,



God bless and keep you safe and God bless your American Hero! My son was with him at the time of the incident and I truly share in your sorrow.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Elizarraras family in the loss of Emigdio. I did not know Emigdio, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero.

You are a hero and you will never be forgotten.

I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.

Love and Peace

To the Family of Master Sgt. Emigdio Elizarraras:

My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young man who gave his life so selflessly. We lost our son 12/1/05.

I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with. They will never be forgotten, never able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your memories will sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away. God Bless this courageous soldier and his family.
