The sudden and tragic loss of Eli Hill has devastated his family and community. Eli was a young boy with a love for sports and a heart of gold.
When Eli Hill, an eight-year-old from Corbin, Kentucky, walked outside to play basketball, there was no sign of trouble. Unfortunately, the game quickly turned into a freak accident that claimed the boy’s life.
According to police, the child was trying to get something to stand on so he could jump the ball into the basket, as reported by WKYT, but the backboard suddenly hit him and crushed his chest, causing him to die of blunt force trauma. .
According to the Hill family, their son was especially unique. He was known to be caring and polite and had a great knowledge of sports.
Eli wasn’t even eight. However, according to Ashley Hill, Eli’s mother, he shone so brightly at the age of eight. “We just love him so much. We’re extremely proud of the legacy he’s left behind.”
Eli’s organs are being donated by his family so that someone else can benefit from his kind heart.
The joy a child can bring to your life and wherever it is is well known to those who knew Eli Hill. You immediately recognized one guy who was so unique to the sport for a young man who loved baseball more than anyone else.
The family also asked through the police department that no donations be made to a GoFundMe page created in her name because they did not create it.
The Better Business Bureau recommends constant checking before donating and issues a warning about questionable crowdfunding.
As we mourn the loss of Eli, let us also remember the importance of cherishing the time we spend with our loved ones. Life is precious and fragile and we must never take it for granted. Let us honor Eli’s memory by living our lives with kindness, love and compassion.
