When my big brother Eli passed away at only 25, it was the deepest sadness I had ever experienced. Before February 14, 2025* I did not know pain in my heart at this level.

*Elijah passed away on Valentine’s Day 2025

Creating a Memorial Video

Taking on the role of creating the memorial video for the service was something I understood I had to do, but also knew was going to be incredibly challenging.

To create a video at the capacity I desired to create it, entailed a multitude of steps, each one more emotionally activating than the last.

Sifting and sorting through hundreds of hours of VCR and DVD footage. Through photo books and flash drives, trying to source every last captured image and video of my beloved brother. Translating this material into a usable format and only then being able to focus on actually creating and editing the movie.

Why is this important?

This was happening parallel to the funeral planning process but more so - right along side the deepest grief I have ever felt in my life.


Now that I have went through this experience, I know the level of love and care that goes into creating a video memorial for a loved one,

I would like to offer that service for others.

I am offering powerful tribute movies for anyone who wants to celebrate the life of someone they love who’s no longer with us.

These aren’t just your average memorials — they’re kick ass life stories, honoring the impact, spirit, legacy and love of those who WE LOVE who have’ve left this planet.
