Sean Mykel Keith Elder

Sean Mykel Keith Elder left this world surrounded by his loving family and friends at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas.

Sean was a great person. He loved his children dearly and the time he spent with them made him the happiest. He was rather accomplished at drawing, and it would make his children’s day when presented on of dad’s drawings. He liked to play video games and watch movies with them. He would always try to make people laugh and entertain them by doing back flips off walls and trees and just being silly and goofy.

He is preceded in death by grandparents Clarence E. Smith, La Berta D. Smith, Sharon Christian, and James Russell. Also, preceding Sean was a very dear and close friend Christopher Hayes.

Sean is survived by his son Sonnee Mykel and daughter Sasha Jade Elder; parents Gary D. Elder, Sr., St. Joseph, MO, Deborah L. Elder, Kansas City, KS, Shanna McMackin, McPherson, KS, and Larry Bringus, St. Joseph, MO; brothers Gary D. Elder, Jr., St. Joseph, MO, Nathan T. Elder, St. George, UT, and Damien A. Elder, St. Joseph, MO; sisters Kristy L. Elder, St. Joseph, MO, Nathalie K. Herrin, AR, Amber C. Elder, Houston, TX and Courtney A. Elder, St. Joseph, MO; uncle James Tatro; lifelong friend John Boy Johnson, St. Joseph, MO; and numerous other aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Sean has been cremated under the direction of Heartland Cremation and Burial Society. There will be a Celebration of Life in the very near future.
