He married Margie Christeen Dalton, the love of his life, on Nov. 18, 1961, in Byers, Texas. They were married for 54 years and 9 months at the time of his passing.

Elton was preceded in death by his grandson, Dustin Cox, Sanger, Texas; parents, Frank and Gladys Wise, of Arizona and Texas; half-brother, A.D. Fellingham, of New Mexico; an uncle and aunt, who raised him, Robert Lee and Alzert Wise of Irving, Texas; and his first wife, Billy Wise, of Bowie, Texas.
Elton was an incredible man he never met a stranger. He has many adopted children and grandchildren who either called him Dad or Poppy. He had a smile that shined from the inside out. He was a bit ornery however; he would not have been Elton, Dad, Poppy or Uncle Elton if he were any other way. Many will miss Elton dearly however; we know he is fishing and rock hunting with Jesus!
