Evan graduated from Saint Paul's School in 2021 and shortly thereafter, joined the United States Marine Corps, embracing the rigorous demands and brotherhood that define the Corps. He had a passion for bodybuilding, racing, and the thrill of speed, whether it be racing cars or motorcycles.
He is survived by his father, Martin Edward Padilla; mother, Trishia Riley Padilla; brother, Jacob Cooper Padilla; paternal grandmother, Cheryl Padilla; maternal grandparents, Emil G. and Geraldine F. Riley; aunts, Nancy Gray, Deborah Ritter and Irene Sweetland; and uncles, Paul and Edward Padilla. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Edward Padilla.
A service to honor Evan's life will be held on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, at Grace Funeral Home, 450 Holy Trinity Drive, Covington, LA. Visitation will begin at 10:30 AM followed by a memorial service at 1:00 PM.
