Elias was a beacon of light in the town of Solen, North Dakota, where he made his residence. He was known and loved by many for his vibrant personality and his infectious love for life.

Elias was a deeply spiritual individual, with strong ties to Native Spirituality. Elias certainly left profound tracks in the hearts of those he encountered. His pursuit of finding solutions to problems and his unwavering commitment to his family and friends were what mattered most to him.

Elias was a source of inspiration, his achievements ranging from academic recognition in 5th and 8th grades to graduating high school in 2021. Regardless of his accomplishments, Elias remained humble, attributing his success to the unwavering support of his family and the love of his community.

Elias leaves behind a loving family, including his mother, Corrine Kopp, Brothers Skylar, Cayden, Caylaan, Sisters Shayla, Tiana, and Mirage, Grandma Marcella, Grandma Thomasine, Grandpa and Grandma Gipp, Uncle Clarence and Anty’s Candace and Krissy, who will carry his memory in their hearts.

Elias' life was a testament to the beauty of human spirit - courageous, generous, humble, and dedicated. His life may have been short, but the impact he had on his loved ones and the community around him was profound. As we remember Elias, SMILE!
