William Elliott Obituary

William Micheal Elliott, 69, of Savannah, passed away Thursday, February 5, 2026. He was born July 8, 1956, son of the late William Frederick Elliott and Margaret Carver Elliott. Micheal loved to travel, but could never break free from his good ole Southern boy roots. In the end though it was the aggressive stubborn love of his Northern girl that prolonged his life.

For those that loved him, this was a great thing. For those that didn't, well..."damn you!" He loved you even if he couldn't remember your name. Six girls and one boy got the privilege of calling him Dad. The perfect number he would say as the one time he told his wife she was a "perfect 7." And then quickly backtracked to remind her that 7 was the perfect number in Hebrew.

In 2020, when the world shut down with COVID, he was diagnosed with stage four cancers. And in true Micheal Elliott fashion, he lived large by not having one, but two stage four cancers, oh and skin cancer.

Along with his perfect 7 wife, they focused on living instead of dying. Traveling, loving on five grandkids, fostering puppies, and squeezing the joy out of every moment. Celebrating what is now instead of worrying about what is to come for all of us.

We may have lost a beautiful person here, but let's be honest, there is no way Micheal is not a supernova spreading his cosmic fireworks outshining an entire galaxy.

Having lived so publicly his whole life, he proclaimed that he did not want an obit or a list of his accomplishments posted. "All you have to do is Google me."

At this time, there is not a public memorial or celebration planned. A future plan will be shared by his wife Sarah Elliott.

Michael touched thousands of lives in ways both personal and profound. Through his daily reflections and generous spirit, he reminded all who followed his journey to cherish each moment and to live with intention, gratitude, and love. What began as simple posts became a source of comfort, strength, and inspiration to many.
He leaves behind not only devoted family and friends, but a community forever changed by his courage, authenticity, and unwavering heart. We are forever grateful for the gift of knowing him. His legacy lives on in the countless lives he inspired. Peace and Love.
