BURGAW — Christopher Scott Elliott, affectionately known to all as Chris, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 29, 2025 at the age of 59 leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness that will be cherished by all who knew him.
Born on November 30, 1965 in Gadsden, Alabama, Chris lived a life filled with compassion for others and unwavering faith.
Chris is survived by his wife and soulmate of 27 years, Sherlon Elliott; sons, Braden Elliott and Adam Elliott; father, Zennie Conway; sister, Lisa Caison and her husband, Joe; several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins; and many friends.
Chris was predeceased by his parents, Tracy Elliott and Barbara Haire Davis; his stepdad, Ronald Davis; and sister, Jan Stoudenmire.
Chris celebrated his life to the fullest. He was continuously living life with kindness and strength beyond measure. He saw life, each day as a gift, seeing the good in every bad situation, grateful for everything and expecting nothing in return. Chris was quite a fisherman, enjoying the sport, catching fish big, little and in between. Chris served 13 years in the US Marine Corps, serving honorably and proudly. Many remember Chris as their UPS man, where he worked for a number of years. Chris was the BEST husband, dad, brother, uncle and friend that anyone could ask for. His shining, guiding light in our lives will surely be missed.
