Elijah William O'Meara, age 10, of Simpsonville, SC, gained his angel wings on July 23rd, 2022 peacefully at home after battling brain cancer for the past seven months. Elijah was born in Cleveland, Ohio on February 10, 2012 and adopted by Jacquie and Billy soon after.
Elijah touched many lives and was loved deeply by those around him. He loved watching the Chicago Bears, playing flag football, Xbox, fishing, dancing and singing where he knew the song lyrics from rap to country and everything in between. He loved working side by side with you doing chores like laundry or spreading mulch and was always there to help.
Elijah is survived by his parents Jacqueline Uzl (Joseph) and William O'Meara (Erin), his siblings Alyssa, Liam, Karter and his grandparents John and Jayne Uzl and Arlene O'Meara, along with many aunts, uncles and cousins. Elijah was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Martin O'Meara.
A private Celebration of Life will be held.
Flowers and donations will be accepted in Elijah's honor. Memorials may also be made to Camp Hands of Hope at: https://www.camphandsofhope.org/donate.html or Hospice & Palliative Care Foundation at: https://www.hpcfoundation.org/online.

We have never met but my heart breaks for your family. ELIJAH was a very handsome young man and was blessed to have you as his family; just as you were blessed to have him in your family. I know you will keep him close to your heart forever. Please accept my sincere heartfelt sympathy.

It was a gift and an honor to be Elijah's art teacher. He had such a wonderful sense of humor and was a great friend to his classmates. I will miss his sweet spirit and smiling face. Praying for peace for all of his family and friends during this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family. Elijah was a rare gem. His husky voice and smile would make me smile every time. I had the privilege of being Elijah mainstream teacher for math and writing. He loved coming in my room as much as I loved having him in my room. He was a strong and courageous solider till the very end.
My today be a celebration of the amazing young man Elijah was. I will never forget him!
Love Mrs. Seeley

I taught Elijah the past summer school with Mrs Saettel and I´ve known him from being down the hall years ago. Elijah had the most kindest heart and would do anything for you. I absolutely loved having the few weeks with him as one of his teachers. I am praying for your family during this time. Please let me know if you need anything. Everyone at Plain is thinking of y´all. Elijah was a blessing and there was a reason God sent him and took him back. Now he´s out of pain.
