    I'm so sorry to hear of Ellis's passing. He was such a wonderful man. I'd'met Ellis through my Aunt & uncle, Merle & David Tiller as well as my cousin, Mike Tiller. David & Ellis went coon hunting alot together. I grew up hearing about the stories they'd tell about their coon hunting adventures. David had us laughing until we had tears in our eyes. I am sure David is rejoicing that his buddy has joined him in Heaven. Mike & I offer our condolences on behalf of Dave Tiller's family. May God comfort you in this time of grief.

    I have known Ellis since I was just a little girl. He has always been my neighbor. He was more than a neighbor he was family. He helped my dad build our house when we first moved in the neighborhood. He will be missed. Prayers for the family and know that he is in peace and in no pain. RIP Ellis, fly high with the angels and with Jason and Jesus. Will always love and miss you. Until we meet again, my friend and neighbor and family.
