Granville, OH—Elliott Drake King, a cherished member of the Granville community and talented young musician, passed away on October 20, 2024, following a courageous fight with cancer. Elliott, 17, was a beloved son, brother, friend, and student who brightened the lives of all who knew him. His dedication to music and his school was evident in his active participation in the Granville High School Wind Ensemble, Marching Band, Concert Band, and steel drum group. He was particularly gifted in playing the baritone, sousaphone, and tuba, leaving a lasting impression on those he performed with and inspired.
Elliott’s kindness and strength touched many, from classmates to teachers, and his memory is treasured by his family: his father Shane King, step-mother Sarah, mother Emily Puterbaugh, and siblings Isaac, Adam, Lily, and Jacob. The King family faces immense challenges as they grieve the loss of such a vibrant and caring young man.
To support the family during this difficult time, Jared Kenyon has organized a GoFundMe campaign, "Support the King Family in Memory of Elliott." The fundraiser aims to provide financial relief, allowing Elliott’s family to focus on celebrating his life and finding comfort amidst their sorrow. Community members have already begun showing their support through donations and heartfelt messages. Recent contributions include $125 from Lance Coulter, $100 from Brian Adair, and $200 from Clint Elkins, each reflecting the community’s love and respect for Elliott and his family.
We extend our deepest sympathies to Elliott’s family and friends. May his memory continue to inspire, and may they find comfort in the legacy of love he leaves behind.
