Mike,
I always find myself here whenever I need you to listen or guide me. I don't know why, but the past few days have been really rough for me and I am so lost. I wish everyday that you were here, but the reality is you never can be, all I have left is memories. I hold on to them so much. I know you only asked one thing of me and it was to keep going on after your death and I feel like I am failing you. It is so hard, every step I take to move on feels like I am leaving you behind. The happiest I have ever been in my life is when I was with you, and I don't think I will ever get back to that. I hope you know I am trying my hardest to give our son the best life I can, but God do I wish you were here. I miss you very much and you will always have my heart. I love you.

Usually this is the hardest holiday and week for me, but this year instead of remembering what I am missing I remembered what you gave me to be thankful for. It's hard to believe it would be five years already. We had so much in six months that some people never see in their entire lives. You can thank Davin for snapping me out of living in the past and moving on. I really see why you loved him so much, he is a wonderful brother. And Trey, he is just growing so fast and looking and acting just like you more and more everyday, I couldn't ask for a better blessing. Thank you for being you and thank you for choosing me, it truly is an honor. I miss you and love you. Happy early anniversary!

Today marks four years with out you son. Not a day goes by that I do not think about you, but today I did something different. I worked half a day then when out to sit with you for a a few, I brought you a pink rose from Davin, Dana, and MaryBeth, a red rose from Trey, and a white rose from Dad and I. Three Balloons, two with flags and one said thinking of you. Your Dad, MaryBeth, Tassie and I when to the ComeyZone, because you aways wanted to make people laugh when time were bad, so we when to laugh. It was good, Armadeus told the room why we were there. Everyone cherred for you, afterwards a young man came up and thanked me, he had been to Iraqi. Son I love you and miss you every day. I still see you and can feel your arms around me telling me not to worry. I am still trying to be strong like you asked me too, but I am finding it harder and harder everyday. Until we meet again, know you are in my heart for ever, missed and loved very much.

In Memory of Michael ~ (Debra Estep)
January 28, 2009
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Michael, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Father we entrust our brother Michael to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Michael in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathies.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Mike,
I miss you so much, but I have found comfort in the fact that I realize now, that you are always with me, and I have come to realize that you are smiling down on us and are proud of both of us. You helped me find peace with everything, and with that came a happiness I haven't known since we were together. I can truely live free now, how I know you wanted us to live. I can love to the fullest, and live life to the fullest now that I found peace in heart and soul. I will always carry you with me, and I know you will always be right by my side, giving me strength and courage. Thank you for showing me what matters in life, and making me the person I am today, the person I am very proud of, and can honestly say I know that you are too. I love you with all my heart. You will always be my first true love, the one that captured my heart and soul, and taught me what real true love means. Keep watch over us!

well this is the first time ive had the guts to come to this page, it only took me a year. i still cant believe that you are gone. you were my brother,my best friend and so much more. i remember when you spent 2 whole days with me helping me paint my bedroom.(man did it come out ugly!!) i did not think it would be this difficult for me to get over but over a year has gone by and i still cant come to terms with it. i miss you. i miss the fights and the many nights we had way to much fun. my greatest memory with you was the night you came home from boot camp. we sat outside the apartment for at least 2 hours just talking. just me and you and all your stories that i was starving to hear. i go through old stuff now and then and find things that make me smile. its hard though. just the other day i found a letter that i never sent and it reminded me of how close we really were. i saw your son once and he is a fat baby!! he so cute though and i only wish you were here to see him and hold him. i wonder what your doing up there. watching us make more mistakes, watching us take advantage of every little thing you wish you could still experience? i know everything happens for a reason i just wish you were still here. your death was very hard for alot of people because you were the untouchable one out of all of us. i miss you so much and i think of you everyday.
i miss you and i love you

Yesterday was valentines day, and evan though you aren't here, you still managed to put a smile on my face. See I was playing with Trey yesterday and it sounded like he started saying mama, so I kept saying it in hopes he would say it again, and of course he turns around and says dada for the first time. The first thing that came to my mind was you, I know somehow you were behind that, just couldn't have him say mama first.
We miss you very much, but we know you are watching over us and protecting us. We love you! Thanks for that smile!

Psalm 23
1
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3
He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!
My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!

To the Evans family I am very sorry for your loss. I am an old friend of Michael's, from Belle Chasse. I was not aware of what happened until Memorial Day when I saw his picture on The news, and at that point my heart dropped. Michael was a great person that could make anyone smile. I have a lot of very wonderful memories of him when we were kids. I look at him not only as a great person, but also as a hero. Michael will always be in my heart and so will his family. Missy I know you never got to meet me but I just want to say I wish you and little Michael the best of luck. My prayers are with ya'll. Love Ya Michael! Rest in Peace. You will defenitly be missed!!

Dear Michael:
We didn't know one another and yet we did. I know every ornery thing you ever did and I know you heard a few about me. The things that I have learned about you since Jan. 28th, have made me realize what a really special person you were and showed me what I have missed. I am so proud of you and the honor that you have brought to our family. Memorial day now has a whole new meaning for me. It will always be a day to remember Michael.
I love you. Rest in peace.

Dearest Michael,
I never thought this could happen to you. I guess I always thought you were invincible, what with everything you've gone through in your life. Yet, you always came out of it unscathed. But, I guess your time was up. I've always believed that we have a date with our name on it and January 28th, 2005 was yours.
I just hope you know just how proud I was (and still am) of you. I wasn't happy when you told us you had volunteered to go to Iraq, but, knowing your stubborness and pride, I knew there wasn't a thing I could do or say to talk you out of going.
You have left an empty spot in my heart that can never be filled. But at the same time, you've left me with such memories, that you'll never be forgotten. Please know that your wife and son will always be taken care of and loved by the whole family. Rest in peace, my son. I'll always love and remember you with a father's pride.
Love,
Dad

To my baby brother, I can't find words to say what you mean to me. What you did for so many people will never be forgotten and we will never let it be. I hope you know how much you mean to me and how proud of you I will always be, you will always be in my heart and what you stand for will always be remembered. My children loved you. In the short time they spent with you, you left an indelible mark on them, just like you did everyone you crossed paths with. They will always know what you did for them. "Mikey" I love you and you will always stay right where you have always been in my heart, forever. Always know how much we love you and how much we will miss everything about you baby brother.

I am finally at a loss for words, did you ever think that day would come :-) Words can not begin to express the pain I feel with your death. You were the baby and as such, it was MY honor to protect you. It seems unreal that you should be the one to die protecting others. I remember a conversation we had, almost a year ago, just after you found out you would be going back to Iraq. You were worried about how the family would feel knowing you volunteered again and you asked me "What if I do not make it back?" I told you that if that should happen, then you go knowing how much we love you and how so very proud we are of you. Well little brother, I do love you and I have never been more proud of anyone in my life. In your letter to the family, "just in case", you asked us to never forget what you died for and to never let anyone dis-respect that. In the words of our father, that is one request I do not mind honoring. You will remain forever in our hearts, or lives, and our souls. Until we meet again, Your Loving Sister Always.

first and foremost i want to give my respects to the evans family. your son is an amazing person. i miss him very much . he tought me many things some good some bad .but the one thing he did through the whole time was keep a smile on his face and one on every person to cross his path. DOC i know your up there right now jokeing with someone making them laugh so hard they cry . this wonderful soul should not have been taken from this earth . he didnt deserve it, but in his time here he made everything worth it. doc always lived for the moment ,trying to make the best out of any bad situation . i swear i could be bored out of my mind sitting at kleins house and doc would show up and walk in with a smile and you knew something was stiring up in that crazy mind of his. man so many memories i dont know wether to laugh or cry . Rest In Peace MR. VITO L. CARDENAL A.K.A. YALL KNOW THE REST LOL MISS YOU DAWG

DOC,
I'll miss you brother. I'll make you proud.
I'm not sure if DOC mentioned me or if any one remembers me but me & DOC are good friends. We met shortly after 9-11 during our service on Home Land Defense, served in Afghan. together. We where both in Iraq. When I would fly into Baghdad on missions we would hang out as much as possible. He was a hell of a friend. He took care of me during our service in N.O., me being a country bumpkin new to the city. I’m on my way to 1088th now. Anything the family needs, do not hesitate in contacting me. I will be returning home with the 1088th. Will someone from the family contact me.

What a shock....I know we only spent a short while together, but some of those tender and crazy memories will last me a lifetime. My greatest wish is for the well being of the family you left behind. You really made something of yourself and I'll forever be proud. Rest in peace.

Doc,
I can only say that you will never be forgotten. Thank you so much for giving us something so precious- your life. I love you for always fighting for everything that you believe in, that includes keeping us safe. I can't cry because every time I think of you, I just want to laugh. See that's the kind of person you are. I can't even think of you as gone because you remain in so many hearts. I love you and always remember to smile for me and keep ya head up.

Doc,
You will never be forgotten, and trust me with that one. You are like my brother and I will make sure that even my children will always know about their "uncle Doc" that fought for our freedom and in turn lost his own. I thank you for that. You are already being missed a great deal and you are still loved. None of us will ever forget what you have done for us, especially me, you volunteered to go to across seas more than once and lost your life for all of us at home to be happy and live freely. and now i know not to take my own freedom for granted anymore and i thank you for that. you were always there for me when nobody else was and i hope that you will continue to be there in death as you were in life i love you very much and one day ill see you again.
Rest in peace now and for manymore lifetimes.
And to your family i only wish upon the best and I thank them for bringing someone as good as you in to this world. I hope they know how much you were...and still are loved.
To your wife, she is a very lucky girl to have you. you were/are a good man and i hope that nothing but the best comes out of your child.

To all,
Words can not express the joy my family felt upon reading each entry in Michael's guest book. We take such comfort in knowing (and just recently finding out) just how many lives our son has touched.
We take comfort in knowing that Michael died doing what he believed in. As much as we miss him, we know Michael is watching over each and every one of us.

doc, thanks for being my big brother, and sacrificing your freedom for mine. I can't begin to explain how much you have inspired me and taught me how to deal with life...with a carefree attitude of course. I will miss you so much but just remember that you will be in my heart and in my mind until the last drop of blood leaves my body. You truly where the big brother that i had always wished for, one that would take care of me and beat up all the little boys that tried to mess with me...lol. But i just wanted you to know that i love you this much------------------------------- ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- ---------------------...and an eternity more

SGT Michael "Doc" Evans represented the 2225th ENG CO (PB) and the Louisiana Army National Guard with honor. His selfless service made him a great and positive role model for all his fellow soldiers to follow. Soldiers like "Doc" are the reason our country is so great. Rest in peace SGT Evans, you will never be forgotten. "Bridge Forward!"
