Ari Gold, a Life to Celebrate

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Ari Gold. Our inspirational co-founder Franklin Elieh had a special relationship with Ari and was always there for him and his supportive family.

Ari’s mother Lisa shared this with us.

Ari Gold made his final journey on January 10th, 2023. Ari had a unique way of viewing life. He stamped his outlook on everyone he met, leaving behind a little piece of himself you could treasure forever. Everyone has an Ari story because he was so outgoing and loving, he immediately brought you into his inner circle. His positive energy was contagious and powerful, it has made a permanent impact on his loved ones. 

Ari was injured through an unfathomable tragedy in 2019 and was left a c/4 c/6 quadriplegic. He struggled with depression and suffered the plague of what life had to give, but through it all he continued to shine through. He lived a life full of beauty, full of color and magic, and it all came from Ari. He had the ability to make you see the world how he saw it, if even just a little. 

Ari was a son, grandson, a fiancé, nephew, and a big cousin who was known as uncle Ari to his two sweet little cousins. However, he was known to all as a lifelong friend. The world is better for having his impact. He will be missed today and everyday. 

“I just want to let you know, I love and appreciate you”
