Emily&Chris and Family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Evan,s passing i know there is going to be tears and sadness day's ahead. But my prayer is with these days of sadness there is going to be tears of joy and day's of laughter ahead.

John 14:1-2
 
I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life
14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?

The Callaway family are wonderful and delightful people. Over the past 4 years or so since coming into contact with Emily, then her husband Chris, then their sons Chase and Evan, it has always been a good time and no regrets on earning them as friends. Every time I got to speak with Evan, he was a smart kid and seemed like he had plans for his life that would lead him to succeed into whatever he chose to do. He was always respectful and his faith always showed through without having to mention Jesus. 

Chris & Emily raised two fine young men, and I wish them to know that my wife and I’s heart breaks for them in the loss of Evan. We pray for you as you did us in our time of trouble, back when you barely knew us. 

Chase, I know what it’s like to lose a brother, and so if you need someone to call brother, I will be around. As I told you before, being a veteran myself, the day you raised your right hand and took an oath to our country as a Marine, you became one to me anyway. Keep carrying yourself with honor, dignity, and integrity and things will fall into place, even when it gets hard. 

To the host of others that encountered Evan, family or friend, may peace and comfort find you all as you carry his memory all the days of your lives. 

Matthew 5:4 - "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" 

Condolences.

Dear Amber Walls & Family, 
I am so very sorry for the loss of your nephew, Evan.  I never got to meet him, but I know he meant so much to you and he will be so deeply missed.  Please know that I am keeping you and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. I am here for you and will listen whenever you want to talk or share memories.  
Love, 
Joanie Shouse

When you locked eyes with your Uncle Micah all I could see was pure joy and love.  💛 We will spend the rest of our days missing and loving you Evan.   I remember when Micah and I first started dating he would show me pictures of you and Chase and the rest of the family.  The cute messages and videos  you all would send him when he was in the military.  He was and is so proud to be your Uncle.  The boys adore you.  And since I’ve become part of the family Chris, Emily, Chase, and You have shown me nothing but love and kindness.  Some of the best people I’ve ever met. I’ll Cherish our time together always.  Words could never express how sorry I am that you all are going through this Chris, Emily, Chase and Andy.  Our prayers and love are with you always.  Whatever you need we are here. 💛 -  Micah, Frannie, Andrew, and Noah Dyer.

Evan and I were best friends for over 14 years and he’s been nothing but a blessing in my life always making me smile, laugh, include me in everything, introduce me to friends i’m now super close with, and be the light to everyone’s darkness even in hiding from his own void. He would always casually tell me he loves me and that he wouldn’t be who he was without me and I thought the same in return. I just hope his family can find peace because Im sure this is unexpected and I could never imagine losing someone like Evan by blood because he was the closest thing to a brother to me being my bestfriend. I’ll never forget and will continue to lift and do the things we both loved doing in honor of him.

I was so proud of him when he started working out. I’d always poke fun at him for being skinny and that I was bigger than him. Before you get mad at me, he would pull the fat card out and hold that over my head all the time. But when he started working out, I could just tell he really loved it. He loved to see change in his muscles and watch the numbers of his maxes go up. And he’d always let me know. I remember getting a video that looked like it was recorded off of a hot dog (CCTV at Crunch) but it was him benching 225 for the first time and there were not many times I can remember of him being so genuinely excited for something - and he was just jumping up and down like a little girl got asked out by her crush. And I couldn’t have been more proud of him. I promise to never bench more than you, buddy. You deserve that crown. I love you so much

To the Callaway family we grieve with you.  Evan has been such a light to our lives since Gibson & Evan were little boys who had now grown into the best of young men.  Their friendship was so dear and I know Gibson will cherish their memories forever.  We thought the world of Evan and we pray for your peace in this sorrowful time.  Love, The Guttermans

Emily & Chris, I am so incredibly sorry for your  unimaginable loss. Sending prayers that God’s love will hold you ever so close. 💔

Chase, Emily, and family: I’m so sorry for your loss. You all will be in our prayers. 

John 16:33: Jesus said to them, “I have said these to you so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have many trials. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” 

—Derek and Whitney Hopperton.

I will always remember Evan as the little boy who was always first to raise his hand to answer questions in children’s church  or who would roll a trash can from table to table while he and Chase  cleared the dishes from the tables at our church dinners .  A gentle, well mannered, tender hearted young man of whom we are blessed to have known. Our loss is Heaven’s gain.

Runa loves you and misses you sweet boy 🤍🤍🤍🤍

I love you forever Evan Paul. I will never stop loving and missing you. 🤍

Evan was my fellow coworker/manager at Crunch. We were both young leaders in an ever-changing environment. Evan took on this challenge with strength and resilience. That represented so much of who he was. He was a leader and protector for all those around him. All the memories we made over the past couple of years I will forever cherish. He became one of my best friends in the world. He was the kindest, strongest, and most beautiful soul I ever met in life and I will forever love and miss him.

I don't have any recent memories of Evan since we grew apart since middle school. But back then he was my best friend through and through. Evan was a devoted Christian and a very smart kid. I remember how he used to come over to my house on Wednesdays after school so we could attend Wednesday night church together. He was always a nice kid and found a way for everyone to be included. Rest easy, we will never forget you.
