Edwin Elian Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Peeples Family Funeral Homes on Dec. 18, 2025.
Edwin Lee Elian was born on September 14, 1976. He attended Northshore Elementary School, Culver Junior High and Andrew Jackson Senior High School.

Mr. Elian is predeceased by his step-mother, Helen Elian, his mother Linda Elian, five (5) brothers and an infant son, Aaron Lee Elian. He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Sally "Missy" Elian, daughter Kaylee Elian, father, George Elian, sister Renee Bush, brother Monsour (Shannon) Elian, brother-in-law Richard (Stephanie) Williams, sister-in-law Jennifer Williams and many other family members.

Mr. Elian was a man of many talents, but he truly excelled in electronics. He was also incredibly good at car mechanics. He was an excellent tutor and was extremely happy when he could share his vast knowledge of any subject with others. His daughter, Kaylee, shared that his patient nature really showed when he was teaching others. He became a father figure to a vast number of people who were experiencing a challenge in life and needed someone to simply be there for them. He did so without condemning or belittling them.

Life will be so different for his family and friends as he departed this life for his reward in heaven on December 11, 2025. He will be deeply missed.
