Oakley Van Elvington
Just four months after coming into this world, Oakley Van Elvington passed away peacefully in his parent’s arms at Medical City Children’s Hospital in Dallas. During that fleeting time, he touched many lives and was loved by all.

Oakley joins his great-grandparents, Cliff Bridges of Greenville, Texas, Leon Wineinger of Greenville, Texas, Rollie Mack Elvington of Pilot Point, Texas and Phillis Jo Poter Van Slyke of Pilot Point, Texas in heaven. He is survived by his father, Taylor Elvington, mother Tiffany (Wineinger) Elvington; brother, Bryson Elvington; grandparents, Randy and Kelly Wineinger, Trudy Wineinger, Kimberly Elvington and Mark Elvington.
