Elijah Thomas Shevlin “Eli”

On July 3, 2026, of Washington Twp. Age 3. Beloved son of Michael and Sandra Shevlin. Dear brother of Eleanor “Ella” and Michael “Mickey.”  Cherished grandson of Michael and the late Judi Shevlin and Edward W. Hutchinson, Jr.  Adored great-grandson of Sharon and the late Bill Bain and the late Edward W. and Audrey Hutchinson, Sr.  Dear nephew of Andrea Shevlin (Dwayne), Veronica Kahana (Michael), Brittnie Jones (James), and Eddie Hutchinson (Dana).  Loving cousin of Maddy, MoMo, Adian, Maura, Mia, Kenni, Llama Duck, Dre and Moni.  Beloved godson of Chris and Tina Audio.

To know Elijah was to know unconditional love. He had a gentle spirit, a radiant smile, and an infectious laugh that could brighten everyone’s day. There was something truly special about him—a peaceful presence and an old soul that brought comfort to everyone. Elijah was always full of life, adventure, and compassion. He was what pure love looks like.

Elijah found joy in life’s simplest moments. He loved listening to piano music and singing his favorite songs. He could often be found happily reading books in his rocking chair, playing with his Little People and dinos, running with excitement, or feeding the animals at the Cape May Zoo. Elijah loved spending days with his big brother and twin sister at Morey’s Piers in Wildwood. One of his greatest joys was playing airplane with Daddy, and nothing made him happier than chicken nugs and Momma hugs.

Elijah loved with his whole heart. He never wanted anyone to be sad and had a special way of making people smile. His gentle nature, kind heart, and love brought out the very best in those around him. His light filled every room he entered, and his beautiful soul left an unforgettable mark on everyone he met.

Though his time with us was far too short, Elijah’s love, joy, and kindness will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him. His legacy is not measured by the years he lived, but by the immeasurable love he gave so freely.

Family and friends are invited to attend his viewing Thursday 6:00 – 9:00 pm and Friday 10:00 – 11:00 am at the Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Road, Washington Twp.  Funeral Service 11:00 am.
