The boys lived in Wadsworth, Ohio before moving to Canton. They both attended Canton ISD schools, Adam in eighth grade and Eli in fifth grade.

Moving to Texas opened their eyes to diversity of race, discrimination and bullying. They were sweet spirited and only wanted unity in the world, encouraging peace and love.

They were of the Methodist faith as young children. A.J. loved sports, puzzles and super heroes. Eli was talented with his hands and always building things. The three children, including their sister Issie, loved making up games and playing.
