Elijah Rankin

Elijah Rankin was born on Nov. 23 1982 in Libby to Casey Rankin and Kim Kelso. He passed away on Oct. 12, 2007. He was preceded in death by both his grandmothers.

Elijah was raised in Troy. He remained there for the majority of his 24 years. He attended both elementary and high school in Troy.

He enjoyed all outdoor activities including: hunting, fishing, snowboarding, hiking and camping. But most of all, he enjoyed the company of his friends and family.

He is survived by two older sisters: Gretchen Taylor and Amanda Rankin and both his parents. He is survived by 36 cousins and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

He has left such an impression on most of us in Troy. He will be greatly missed, but thought of often. Rest in peace, Elijah until we meet again.
