Elijah James Juventino (Boyes) Gudknecht, 22, passed away March 24, 2018. He was a fantastic son, loved by his parents Caroline and Lawrence Gudknecht. He is also survived by his brother, Reuel Boyes, his sister Shasara Boyes, his sister Scarlett Gudknecht, and his brother Gabriel Gudknecht, whom he affectionately referred to as "Goob", as well as numerous grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was a full time student at Wichita State University, and a manager at Chipotle. He was born in Phoenix, Arizona, and also lived at Sheppard AFB, TX, Andrews AFB, MD, Travis AFB, Ca, Wright Patterson AFB, OH, and finally Park City, KS. He loved music, concerts, Harry Potter, living life to the fullest, and making people laugh with his sharp wit and contagious smile. He was loved by all his friends and his family, and will be missed greatly.
His parents would like to thank the staff of Wesley Medical Center for going above and beyond for not only Elijah, but all his family and friends as well.
A memorial service is being planned.
