A lover of drinking beer, watching SEC football, and sex with his hot wife, he would often fall asleep doing the things he loved.
But like all good people who worked with politicians for years, when startled awake from his sleep he would loudly proclaim, “I wasn’t asleep!”
For a self proclaimed beach bum he had expensive taste in electronics which he had a knack for breaking, often.
Although this cost was augmented by his love of just wearing his short, very short, black running shorts for every and any occasion.
He loved to travel, but could never break free from his good ole Southern boy roots. In the end though it was the aggressive stubborn love of his Northern girl that prolonged his life.
For those that loved him, this was a great thing. For those that didn’t, well...”damn you!” He loved you even if he couldn’t remember your name.
Six girls and one boy got the privilege of calling him Dad. The perfect number he would say as the one time he told his wife she was a “perfect 7.” And then quickly backtracked to remind her that 7 was the perfect number in Hebrew.

In 2020 when the world shut down with COVID, he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancers. And it true Micheal Elliott fashion, he lived large by not having one, but two stage four cancers, oh and skin cancer.
Along with his perfect 7 wife, they focused on living instead of dying. Traveling, loving on 5 grandkids, fostering puppies, and squeezing the joy out of every moment. Celebrating what is now instead of worrying about what is to come for all of us.
We may have lost a beautiful person here, but let’s be honest, there is no way Micheal is not a supernova spreading his cosmic fireworks outshining an entire galaxy.
Having lived so publicly his whole life, he proclaimed that he did not want an obit or a list of his accomplishments posted. “All you have to do is Google me.”
Af this time, there is not a public memorial or celebration planned. A future plan will be shared by his wife Sarah Elliott.
