Eli Pursley

With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of our son, Elliot (Eli) James Pursley, born November 3, 2006, in Waco, Texas, and passed away December 17, 2025.

Eli had the biggest of hearts and was capable of the fiercest of love. He was always able to put a smile on people’s faces and truly loved living life. A lifelong member of the Waco area, he enjoyed roping throughout his youth, loved working on his truck, and had recently developed an interest in firearms.  Eli worked as a Field Service Technician for Trinity Power out of Conroe, Texas, a role that took him out of state for work and allowed him to meet an amazing group of people and see many places.

He is survived by his parents, his sister, and his loving girlfriend. 

Eli was deeply loved and will be forever missed. We will forever carry his wonderful memories in our hearts.

For details on the memorial, please contact the family. The family is thankful to the medical personnel, the loving people who came to his aid when he needed it most, and OakCrest Funeral Home for their care and compassion.
