I met Eliot, my cousin, for the very first time at age 23 (6 years ago). Yet, he shared himself as if we were very close family. In the brief moments I spent with him and talked about life, he evoked a deep humanity and love that I have seen in my siblings and relatives on the McKinnon side in particular.
I'm saddened we were worlds apart and that I only was able to meet him once, but I'm comforted that I did meet Eliot and can remember him fondly.
I am so, so sorry to hear this news.

We were so shocked and saddened to hear of Eliot’s passing. I remember Eliot as a sweet, kind, soul, so polite and gentle. Many people in La Grande were touched by his life and presence here.
We are wishing Heather, John, Peter, and Eliot’s siblings and family peace and comfort during this difficult time.
In sympathy,
Matt Cooper and Sharon Porter

Dear Heather and Peter and family... we were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of your dear Eliot. Although we did not know him, he accomplished so much in his short lifetime. He will be missed by so many who knew and loved him.
Please know that we are thinking of you in these most difficult days as your life has to continue without Eliot in your life but knowing that he will be forever in your heart.
Sincerely, Andrea and Hugh Sweeney

Heather, I did not know your son, but by all accounts he was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed by many people. It is hard to put into words anything that I could say that would bring you comfort at this time. However, I did want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very sad time in your lives. Take care, Elissa

I just heard about Elliot's passing . I met Elliot during his stay in Cape Breton and once assisted him with making a Blackberry/ blueberry cobbler with blackberries he picked from a vine nearby . Gentle is the perfect description of his nature . I am so sorry for your loss , our hearts are broken to hear this .

Eliot was the most beautiful, tender, magical, and caring person I have had the great blessing to know and love. He will be deeply missed and always remembered. I wish your family peace and healing, and offer my deepest condolences.
He once shared this Rilke poem with me, and it seems fitting now.
She who reconciles the ill-matched threads
of her life, and weaves them gratefully
into a single cloth
it's she who drives the loud mouths from the hall
and clears it for a different celebration
where the one guest is you.
In the softness of evening
it's you she receives.
You are the partner of her loneliness,
the unspeaking center of her monologues.
With each disclosure you encompass more
and she stretches beyond what limits her,
to hold you.

Dear Heather: We struggle with all those who seek to find words to express our love and concern for you and your family and to express our deepest sympathy. There was a line in the Beautiful Mind, where John Nash was played by Richard Crowe, that I have still in my mind. Nash himself said that his research had taken him into the physical, metaphysical, and delusional and back again and this is a little of what he said at his acceptance speech: Ì have made the most important discovery of my career, it is only in the mysterious equation of love that any logic can be found.`` I suppose there is nothing so logical as the field of Mathematics but it was in love he found the only true logic. Your love for Elliot, his love for you, God`s love to us and love for family and each other is the one thing that we have that can never be taken away. Lorna and I send our love and blessings to you and the family. Ron Harris

It is hard to hear this news. Living at Covenant House for a short while, Eliot would come downstairs and bring life to our halls with his stories, and laughter to those who shared our home with him. In his room, I could often hear him practising his guitar - a beautiful and unmatched style and sound unique only to him... we would often tell him this.
I hold your family in prayers, Eliot, and also your extended circle at L’Arche and Hope House.
