Hi,
Evan was in my Econ 110 class at ISU, and although we didn't talk much-- I was beyond devestated to hear of his death. He was always so polite, and I can only imagine the wonderful person he was. I'm sure he touched the lives of many; he even touched mine.
I'm so sorry for all who are grieving, and I pray that you find the strength to keep pursuing life to its fullest.
Try to stay thankful for the little time you did have together; there are always blessings, even in such times of sorrow.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to fathom how horrible it must be to lose a child - and my son is 19, so this really hits home. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the bible at Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more. neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

Evan so funny some of the times he had a great personality about him. Me and him might not even know each other that well but I still remember the first day me and him met. I was in 10th grade and he was a senior. He always called me baby blue every time he saw me either in the hallways or even out in public. I felt protected when I was around him and he was like an older brother to me. Im sorry for your lost Troy and Denise. He will be in my prayers and I will play this Friday for him. We will see each other soon Evan.
