Evan was no doubt, smiling today as the band honored him at the memorial. He loved the PRHS Marching Band. I have lots of memories of Evan and his sisters riding the school bus.....we had lots of conversations and laughs. I will always remember Evan at the game on Friday night and his excitement and joy when we scored all the touchdowns and he was grinning from ear to ear as the band began playing.....Evan was always in his element when he was with the band. We'll miss you Evan.

Evan touched me deeply in particular one frantic day on the band bus when I was rushing in to be mama bear...
Evan cautioned me quietly offering me a different perspective I hadn't considered before. It was a growth moment for me as a parent that afforded my son space to mature too. When I feel the need to rush in, I still picture Evan's quiet calm and consider other options.
Thank you for that blessing Evan and thank you to his family, band and friends who helped Evan grow to grace.

Evan was so devoted to the band and always such a joy to be around. His contagious smile and happiness will be very much missed. He spoke so lovingly about his sisters and loved his family.

Evan was a light and an inspiration to all who received the blessing to call him as a friend. He turned every frown upside down with his wide smile and jolly laugh. I will hold the few years of friendship I had with Evan close to my heart.

The untimely loss of Evan came as a shock and no words come to mind to adequately express our sympathy. We are praying you will lean on God during this period of grief and trust He will give you the strength needed to accomplish your daily tasks. Although Evan is no longer on this earth he left many wonderful memories for family and friends to share. Keeping you in prayer...

Bruce, Carrie, and family,
We remember so many fun times with the Band. Evan always had a smile, a positive attitude and influence on all those that knew him. He was a great leader, friend, and example. Evan's smile and laughter was contagious and even though we have not seen your family since moving away, those times will never leave out memories, Evan will always be with us.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you and the family and we will keep you in our hearts over the coming days, weeks, and months. Thank you for sharing your wonderful son. The heavens are much brighter now.

I am at a loss for words of the grief that the Courter family must be enduring. When I think of my days in band, the first person that comes to mind is Evan. I always had a great amount of respect for his passion and commitment to music and his fellow classmates. Never was there a dull moment in band or the other classes we had together throughout middle school and high school. I recall the countless conversations we had about family, sharing stories and being able to joke together.
To Bruce, Carrie, Erin, Erica and Denise; may you hold each other tight while you find peace to your emptiness and heartache.
Evan, please give Aubrey a hug for me..

It is with great sadness that I read this, another star taken to Heaven to soon. My sincere condolences to the Courter family on their profound loss. I have known the Courter family since I was a young girl, spending time with their family is amongst a lot of great memories I have from child hood. Evan was always a kind, courteous soul and will be greatly missed by all that knew him. My prayers and love go out to everyone in the Courter family. If there is anything I can do to help in your time of sadness please let me know.

We remember Evan fondly from our son Ben's years with the PRHS marching, concert and jazz bands. Evan was a talented, kind and most devoted member of those groups. We send you our love and support as you grieve the passing of your beloved Evan. Know that the stars shine brighter because he is now amongst them and surrounded by light, laughter and peace. We will hold you in our hearts throughout the upcoming days, weeks, and months.

Such a brilliant, shining star that flew from our view way too soon. Evan and I were Bass Clarinetists together in our high school band and we had a great time together. Most of my fondest memories of band have Evan and his easy smile and kind nature at the heart. My sincere condolences to Bruce, Carrie, Erin and Erica and the rest of Evan's family and close friends.
