by Michelle D’Alessandro The Dispatch 10 NOV16 Remembering In the very early hours of October 31st, Huntington High School lost its most angelic Blue Devil. Eli Mollineaux passed away serenely after living over 10 years longer than had been predicted. The fifteen year old’s long-lived battle against Pearson Syndrome--an incredibly rare mitochon- drial disease with less than one hundred reported cases--has captured the hearts of all of Hun- tington. Surrounded by loved ones, family, and friends, he left the world knowing that he was loved.

Thank you so much for letting me into your life and for changing mine. You will forever be in all of our hearts. Love you E.” - Junior Rachel Moss

“I had the honor of being placed in the same business class last year with Eli. I also had The honor of seeing him yesterday (October 30) as he slept in his bed peaceful- ly and seeing his face made me the happiest person. When I first met Eli, my world changed. His presence and smile can make a bad day amazing and an amazing day even better. This boy was the biggest fighter I know and every day I was able to see Eli was a gift to me. To his family and Ms Messina – Thank you for giving the com- munity of Huntington such an amazing kid to look up to. Eli welcomed me more than anyone has ever had with his smile. Thank you for everything Eli. Thank you for showing how to keep a positive look at life and to keep fighting. I always know you are watching over Huntington. Rest Easy Eli #bELIeve” - Senior Ally Arleo

“Eli will never truly be gone. His legacy will forever live on in our hearts, not only as the oldest person to live with his disease, but as a loving, caring, sweet soul. He was absolutely incredible, and I can definitely say without a doubt that there will never be anyone else like him. We were so lucky to be able to have him in our lives” - Senior Isabella Scarpati The Dispatch NOV16 11 eli mollineaux

“My absolute favorite memo- ries will always be of Eli com- ing into my ceramics class to work on his clay projects. As he was working, his smile would ehxibit how much he truly loved being there.
