Statement from Evan’s Family

Remembering Evan — A Beloved Son, Brother, Father, and Community Storyteller

 

The family of Evan extends their heartfelt gratitude to the community for the care, support, and encouragement they have received during this profoundly difficult time. Your compassion has been deeply felt and sincerely appreciated.

Evan was proud to be a voice on local radio and a storyteller for the community he loved. He found joy in sharing local history, celebrating its people, and bringing everyday moments to life through conversation and connection. That pride carried into the arena, where Evan served with great honour as the voice of the Bulldogs and Bombers, shaping the atmosphere of game nights and celebrating sport as part of the larger story that brings people together.

Evan loved being a dad to his children — Cally, Griffin, and Foster. While Evan’s role was public, the family’s grief is private. The overwhelming enthusiasm to honour him, though deeply appreciated, has added pressure at a time when the family simply needs space to mourn together.

They ask for patience and understanding as they grieve and come together to determine, as a family, the right time and way to celebrate Evan’s legacy. They will not be providing further public comment at this time.

Thank you for your kindness, your understanding, and for honouring Evan’s life with respect and care.

Heather, Erin, Cally, Griffin, and Foster
