Eli Dock Meadows, Jr., 53, of Roanoke passed away peacefully joining his Heavenly Father on Saturday, May 15, 2021. He was preceded in death by his father, Eli Dock Meadows, Sr.

He is survived by his mother, Patsy Meadows; children, Mike Meadows (Nellie), Ariel Meadows (Kyle Shaben), Jon Meadows, and Amber Worrell (William); grandchildren, Khloe, Trenten, Andi, Hannah, and Zander; and special friends, Angie Conner and Ralph L. Parker, Jr.; and a multitude of cousins, extended family, and other friends.

Eli was a kind person, friendly, who never met a stranger. "Little Dock" loved his mother and his family with his whole heart. He never met anyone he didn't like and was usually the center of attention. He was very smart and funny with a quirky personality others loved. He was always scheming to do something and you couldn't play cards or games without him trying to scheme for ways to win. He enjoyed following wrestling, but his favorite times were those spent with his family. He will be missed by all those who loved him.
