Elliot Nolan Obituary

DEFIANCE - Elliot James Nolan, 19 of Defiance, passed away tragically from injuries sustained in an automobile accident on Sunday, June 9, 2024, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with his family by his side.

Elliot was born on September 18, 2004, in Maumee, Ohio, to Anthony and Nicole (Scott) Nolan. He has two brothers, Michael Richard, and Brady, and one sister, Kendall, who will miss him tremendously.

Elliot was a 2022 graduate of Defiance High School. He also attended Four County Career Center where he found an interest in Carpentry that led Elliot to pursue a career at General Motors in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was scheduled to start his Millwright Apprenticeship on July 22, 2024 in Defiance. Elliot and his dad drove to work together everyday.

Elliot loved animals, and enjoyed golfing, Bud's blueberry pies, and chocolate sodas. He was a huge fan of the Chicago Cubs and was a season ticket holder for Notre Dame Football games. Elliot had a gigantic heart and would help anyone who needed him. He loved to talk. He REALLY did!

Elliot also leaves behind his extended family; Great Uncle John Nolan III, Michael (Beth) Nolan, Tim (Alissa) Nolan, Natalie (Ryan) Stahl, Annalee (David) Gioiella, and Peggy Hansen. Nine cousins; Sadie, Luke, Greer, Owen, Matthew, Millie Margaret, Luca, Wayne Wilder Michael and Asher. Grandma Marcia Giesige and Grandma Jo Ann Sorg and Bill Brandt, who loved him so very much.

Preceding him in death was his grandfathers, Richard Scott and Michael Nolan.
