At an early age, Elbert, Jr. gave his life to Christ and was baptized at Harlem Park Community Baptist Church in West Baltimore. Later in life, he joined United Baptist Church under the leadership of Dr. Carl J. Solomon, where he served on the Diaconate Ministry and the Trustee Board. He was more than just a member at United. He was also known for volunteering his time as a church ‘handy man’ doing odd jobs like painting the white lines in the church’s parking lot to fixing lights throughout the church building. He loved his church and his church family. Elbert Jr., entered into marriage to Gail Reid, who preceded him in death. From that union, Elbert Edmond, III was born. He later married Pamela Hunter and that union ended in divorce. Elbert Jr., JR, as he was affectionately called by family and friends, was very family oriented, fun loving and easy going. He was also a loving father to Tray and a doting grandfather to Payton and Arielle, who called him “Pop Pop”. He loved taking them out to eat, picking them up from school and taking them back and forth to practices and other activities. He also enjoyed hanging out with close friends, Rudy Holley and Corey Dudley. He was also an avid sports fan. He could often be seen at Baltimore Orioles baseball and Baltimore Ravens football games.
