Edward “Eli” Wilton - Son of Trent and Amy Broome

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends

Edward Wilton or “Eli” as he was known to his friends and family was a volunteer Ukraine solider from the United States.

At the young age of 22 Eli has made the ultimate sacrifice. As no one is ever fully prepared to lose a child at such a young age, even knowing they are choosing a dangerous situation his family will need help laying him to rest once he is returned to the United States.

Any amount is appreciated and will be used to aid the family.

“My brother was very selfless. My brother was very honorable and traditional," Cummings said of Wilton. "He cared more about freedom for all than for his own safety. Edward was a true hero and he will be missed until we see him again.”
