Elio Alexander Gross

It is with profound sorrow and a heart full of love that we announce the passing of Elio Alexander Gross, who was called to Heaven by the Angels on the very day of his birth, June 6, 2026. Though Elio's time with us was brief, the impact of his presence was profound, touching the hearts of all who awaited his arrival.

Elio entered this world surrounded by the hope and dreams of his family. His journey may have been short, but the love enveloping him was immense and unwavering. He was the beloved son of Drew Gross and Amanda Marrs, treasured beyond measure from the moment of his birth. His siblings, DJ Gross and Cora Gross, hold in their hearts a precious memory of a brother they will forever cherish.

Elio’s lineage is a tapestry woven with love and strength. On his mother’s side, he was embraced by his maternal grandparents Marilyn and Jimmy Sutton, and Donald Marrs, his maternal grandfather. He was also the great-grandchild of Gloria Jean Marrs, whose legacy of love reaches down through the generations. From his father’s side, his paternal grandmother Vanessa Garcia and paternal grandfather Alex Garcia, along with paternal great-grandfather Bill Gross, stood as pillars of family support and affection.

Though Elio’s life was brief, it was undeniably filled with the promise of love, tightly held by each family member who knew him—even in those first fragile moments. His presence, albeit fleeting, reminded everyone around him about the preciousness of life and the depths of a family's love that transcends time.

The arrangements to honor Elio’s memory and life have been entrusted to Raven Choate Robinson Funeral Home, where his family and friends gathered with tears and love, finding comfort in shared grief and the hopeful promise of eternal peace.

Elio Alexander Gross was taken to Heaven surrounded by angels who now watch over him, his spirit radiant and free. Though his earthly journey was brief, the love he leaves behind will forever light the hearts of those who loved him.

May his memory be a blessing and a gentle reminder of the delicate beauty that life holds. Rest peacefully, Elio, wrapped in the arms of angels until we meet again.
