He was preceded in death by his parents, Wilburn and Pearl Bass, several brothers and sisters, and his beloved English Bulldog, Mack.
Pallbearers will be Lucas McGrady, Bradley Stumpe, Greg McCanless, Adam McCanless, Lane McCanless, Jerry Campbell, and Warren Fowler.
Special thanks are given to all the nurses at Gentiva Hospice for their wonderful care given to Elliott.
