Elias Jakob Cieslak

Elias Cieslak, a loving, funny, and friendly young man, passed away on April 23, 2023, in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. Born on June 11, 2005, Elias was the beloved son of Crystal Maenner and Juan Cieslak, and a caring brother to Destiny Peters and Isabella Cieslak. He was a cherished grandson of Brenda and Leo Maenner, Pillar Cieslak, and the late Edward Cieslak and Carlos Garcia. Elias is survived by many aunts and uncles, cousins, and friends who will miss him dearly.

Growing up in Baltimore, Elias attended Parkville High School and was a dedicated student. He was a senior at the time of his passing, and his classmates and teachers will remember him for his warmth, humor, and friendliness. Elias' positive spirit and passion for learning will never be forgotten.

Elias had a variety of interests that brought joy to his life, and he shared that joy with those around him. An avid collector of Hot Wheels, Elias had a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship of these miniature cars. He was also passionate about baseball, proudly wearing the #5 on his jersey, and excelling as a left-handed pitcher and center fielder. Elias' enthusiasm for the game was infectious, and he inspired his teammates with his dedication and love for the sport.

In addition to his love for baseball, Elias enjoyed riding his bike and dirt bikes, and he had a special affinity for the Bugatti, his dream car. He was an avid video gamer who spent countless hours honing his skills, and he took great pride in his collection of expensive tennis shoes. Elias was also a connoisseur of Seiko watches, appreciating their precision and timeless beauty.

Elias cherished the time he spent fishing and crabbing with his Pops, creating memories that will last a lifetime for both of them. These adventures brought them closer together and allowed Elias to embrace his love for the outdoors and the tranquility of nature.

Elias' loving, funny, and friendly nature made him a beacon of light in the lives of those who knew him. His ability to connect with others and bring laughter to any situation will be remembered by all. As Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Elias' impact on the lives of his family and friends will never be forgotten, and the love and happiness he brought to their lives will be cherished forever.

In the face of this tremendous loss, we remember Elias Cieslak for the joy, laughter, and love he brought to our lives. Though his time on this earth was far too short, the memories he created with his family and friends will live on in their hearts. May Elias' spirit continue to inspire us all to live life to the fullest, embrace our passions, and cherish the time we have with those we love.
