Evan‘s young and beautiful life was a gift to all. It was filled with family, love, and joy of the discovery of God’s creation. His strong sense of justice committed him onto a path that was filled with concern for others. Evan’s compassion was shown through his active support to those in need. He lived the corporal works of Mercy in acts of kindness; helping those less fortunate so they too, could know an experience of love. He supported the Crisis Children Home in Mesa, and volunteered at the St Vincent DePaul center. He had a love for nature and family that enriched not only his life, but also all of ours.
May Evan live forever in the joy of the Risen Christ. Evan, you will be missed. We will love you always and forever!
