Elias Birnbaum
April 7, 1994 – August 28, 2018
Elias was funny, kind, gentle, loving and full of joy. Everyone always describe him as a “pure soul”. He loved music and played it constantly. He was a talented DJ.
Elias was on the autistic spectrum. He wanted to fit in with his peers so began using weed. One night while he was high on weed, he met some people and tried Meth with them. It was mixed with Fentanyl and killed him.
According to his friends, it was the first time that he ever tried a “hard” drug.
We miss him every moment of every day.
