Memories
From Sandra Horne
So sorry for your loss Ken. It's hard to understand why things happen the way they do, but I believe there is a reason or plan for all that leaves us to soon and for those that are left behind as well. Evan was a great help to me a couple of times with some computer problems. He will be missed and is loved by many.
Much love and many hugs
Sandra

Evan we had some great conversations even though it had been ahile. I will miss you and I love you! I remember babysitting you and Ross a couple of times. You had a great sense of humor, you were stronger than you realized. I know you in a better place and out of your pain now. I will see you one day and then we will get caught up! Your Cousin, Cindi
From Eric Lehto
Evan was my little cousin that always was fun to be around as a kid ... we lost touch due to moving & life happenings. Evan, I always remember how much fun we all had playing in the woods on the property you used to live on as a kid. Evan, I know your with Grandpa Kohler now & any pain is washed away from you in heaven. Rest in peace my little cousin.
Ken, Ross & Wilda, I'm so sorry for your loss.
