Remembering Elliot Blair
Elliot was a compassionate lawyer who dedicated his life to serving indigent clients
We are heartbroken to hear of the loss of Elliot Blair, who was tragically killed Saturday in Mexico while celebrating his first wedding anniversary. Elliot, along with his wife Kim, have been dedicated Public Defenders in Orange County, CA since 2017. Elliot was a compassionate lawyer who dedicated his life to serving indigent clients. Elliot was known as a patient and caring advocate. He was the best of us and was loved by countless members of the Orange County legal community.
Our deepest sympathy also goes to our beloved friend, Candace Chavez-Wilson, and her family as they grieve the tragic loss of her dear brother Elliot. She and her beautiful family are in our hearts and prayers. As Elliot's body will have to be transported back home from Mexico, the GoFundMe below was established to help assist with the cumbersome diplomatic process involved between the USA and Mexico. Please do what you can to help the family bring their beloved husband, son, brother, family member and friend back home.

On January 14, 2023, Elliot Blair and his wife, Kim, were in Rosarito, Mexico, celebrating their one year wedding anniversary when Elliot was tragically killed. We wish we could provide everyone with more information, but very limited information has been disclosed by authorities in Mexico. He was the victim of a brutal crime. His family is working with US Officials to gain more information.
Elliot was known for a smile on his face and a clever mind. There are not enough words to express the level of love he had for Kim. Kim was his life. They just started building a life together in their first year of marriage. Elliot was killed on their one year wedding anniversary. Kim's heart is shattered.
Elliot is survived by his beautiful loving wife, Kim, his mom, Stella Blair, his sister, Candice Wilson, his nephew Samuel, and all of his dear friends and loved ones. We take solace in the fact that Elliot is now with his father, Tom, who passed away two years ago. Elliot and Tom were thick as thieves; They spent countless hours together in the garage working on cars, dirt bikes, and dune buggies.
We are raising funds to help Kim with the cumbersome process involved in transporting Elliot's body from Mexico to the USA and dealing with all the red tape.
