    He was a remarkable, loving and devoted father.
Will had a great sense of humor and loved to play practical jokes on people.
He fought very hard the last few months to regain his health so he could be here for his kids. He loved them so very much! They will have great memories of him to bring them comfort, especially knowing how much he loved them.
     Will is survived by his three children, Marissa, Cassie and Kyle Elder, all of Burlington.
He is also survived by his mother, Margaret Clobridge of Fresno, CA;
siblings, Jed Carter - Daytona Beach, FL, Kelly Carter - Daytona Beach, FL, Lorrie Carter - Kenai, AK,
Crystal Elder - Mount Vernon, WA, Ben Elder - Burlington, WA,
D'arcy Elder-Centeno - Burlington, WA, Felisha Arden - Alger, WA,
Marina Schenk - New York, Meredith Sweney - Phoenix, AZ, Dan Elder - Alger, WA.
He is also survived by the mother of his children, Anna Elder of Bow, WA; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
    Will was preceded in death by his dad, ED Elder and brother, Jared Elder.
     He will be missed by many friends and family.
      Funeral services will be held at Hawthorne Funeral Home in Mount Vernon, WA
on Wednesday, January 26th at 2pm. Viewing will be held from 9am to 11am.
     In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Will Elder Children Memorial Fund at People's Bank.

The records were partially destroyed in a fire. They are rather a hodge podge and in some cases no one
