Elliott M. Lax

Elliot, you were an incredible man and teacher. You had such a kindness about you, and I have been so sad to hear of your passing. I pray you are at peache.

I had the privilege to work with Elliot on one of the many youth projects that he did. I am deeply saddend by this loss. The world lost a very caring man that did so much for his community.

You were a wonderful teacher and inspiration. You will be missed. -Becky Vega (STG 1994)

Eneida - I am very sorry for your loss. I know your family is missing Elliott and only wish I could say the right words to offer comfort.

The world, especially our community, has lost a wonderful human being, and way too soon. My heart goes out to his family.

I learned to know Elliot through my sister Cindy, and though we didn't meet often I considered him a friend. A warm, fine person who will be missed, and I will always remember the fun hikes together.

I had the great privilege of knowing Elliott from the Owl & Panther Project. Such a gentle soul who exuded love and patience beyond all expectations. I also had the pleasure of seeing him a couple of times at City High, when my work (UA Presents) brought performances in for the students.

I always thought the term advocate was a perfect description of his work with the refugee families. He was a real humanitarian.

He will be missed but live on in our thoughts with cherished...

The community and youth of Tucson were lucky to have had a person as caring and involved as Elliott. My heart goes out to Elliott's family during this sad time. He was truly a wonderful person who will be greatly missed and always remembered.

Elliott was a marvelous, gentle, wonderful person.
