Evan Blake Killian

In April of 2020, his greatest joy and proudest moment was becoming a dad! Blake loved spending time with his family, loving on his baby girl, fishing and tinkering with small engines and farm equipment. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, of course, with a fishing pole in his hand. He also enjoyed cooking, arguing with his momma, even though she was always right and always making sure he said “I love you” before hanging up the phone. He cherished the times he had fishing with his Granddaddy and driving his truck, even though Blake was not old enough to drive. He also enjoyed hanging out with his dad in the garage talking about the biggest fish they caught and bragging how much they were able to fish, always trying to outdo the other.

Left to cherish his memories are his parents, Mark and Susan; his baby girl, Ember Rayne and her mother, Paige Corriden; his sisters, Molly Killian and Mellie Yetter; and his brothers, Christopher Killian and Kyle Killian. His maternal grandparents, Ken and Karen Stasko. His nephews, Brad and Henry; his nieces, Evie and Lucy; his aunts and uncles, Wes Killian and Teresa Paup, Rhonda and Charley Schulz, Melanie Killian, Sherry and Paul Hart, Barbara and Keith Ellebracht and John and Meredith Stasko. His cousins, Weston, Michelle, Wyatt, Riley and Madison Killian; Wade Killian; Zachary Schulz; Angela, Bradley, Luke and Owen Watson; Bess Blacketer; Ellarie Ellebracht; Everett Ellebracht; Charlie Stasko and Jack Stasko.

Blake was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, W. D. and Mellie Killian; and his maternal great grandparents John and Bess Garton.

Blake touched so many lives, and he leaves behind some chosen family members: Steve, Amy, Taylor, Tyler and Shelby Bezner; Carmen, Philip, McKenna and Nolan Swift; Collin Yetter; and Bailey Williamson, along with too many friends to name (they only let us say so much here)!

A public visitation will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 10, 2021 at Brookside Funeral Home – Cypress Creek in Houston, Texas.
