#ElijahLewis - Last night was an evening of reflection and celebration at the Rainier Valley Safeway, as community members honored the life of Elijah Lewis, who was shot and killed just a week ago in Capitol Hill. The event followed several vigils around the city that commemorated the 23-year-old’s life of service.
“I love my family, right—we were brought up service-minded,” remembered Jenine Lewis, Elijah Lewis’ mother.
Lewis was remembered as a caring son, a brother, a friend, a fighter for the community. And he was praised for his work in the Central District. His brother Mario Dunham was also present.
“If you didn’t know my brother, understand that he worked tirelessly, but he also knew who was loyal,” said Mario Dunham, Lewis’ brother.
Other attendees included the Executive Director of Urban Family Shantel Patu, King County Council Member Girmay Zahilay (@GirmayZahilay), Domonique Davis of Community Passageways (@commpassageways), one of Lewis’s business partners Ash Kaur, and Converge’s own Community Queen Trae Holiday (@HolidayTraeanna).
“Although his loss has been hard, this week has been hard. I can't help but be proud of him.
I’m still proud of the light that he's shining a community from here to the CD. Not a lot of kids can say that,” Patu said.
Zahilay announced that Lewis’s birthday in November will be designated Elijah Lewis day in the county.
