Not sure what to say?

It was such an honor to know your dad. I only met him a few times in person, but loved hearing his stories during our times together. I will always remember how his smile would light up the room. He would "like" every single picture I posted of the girls on Facebook, and I loved that we could keep in touch via social media. We miss him dearly and send all of our love to you and your family. Love always, Miranda & Justin Johnson

We cherished every time we spent with Evan when he was in Seattle. He was not only the loving dad of our friends Kim and Geoff, but he was also a loving friend.

We will miss his grace, warmth and intellect for he enlivened the room, and forever enriched our lives.

Annual Seafair parties to watch the Blue Angels aerial display and hydroplane races will never be quite the same again without you there.

Rest In Peace, dear Evan. We love and miss you very much.

Evan/Uncle Buck always had a smile on his face. Always interested in what my family and I were doing. My only wish was that we all could have lived closer, so we could see each other more and to get to know each other better. I always enjoyed Evan's visits. Evan you will be missed.

Grandpa, the world is just not the same without you. Your optimism and curiosity and kindness are what I hope to carry forth in your memory. Thank you for coming to my graduations (both high school and college), and driving out to my rowing races in Georgia just to give me an encouraging hug, for attending my wedding, and meeting my daughter Luciana (what a precious moment that was!) You have always been there and touched so many people during your time here. How lucky I am and we all are to...

A kind and caring man, so happy we were able to meet and spend time with him. And such an interesting life! He'll be missed by many.

It was always a delight to be in Evan's presence. He was caring and funny and always so interesting and interested. The world needs more people like him.

Evan House was always friendly and kind to me. I can remember seeing him at concerts that Kim and Geoff were playing and he was always smiling likely because his daughter was following her dream. He was the proud father and he loved Geoff like a son. When Evan was around the room was full of smiles especially at the yearly parties where we would watch the planes listening to the pilots. He could talk to anyone and we all looked forward to seeing him. Clearly his loss is catastrophic, a man...

We met Evan through his Seattle family and our dear friends, his daughter Kim and son-in-law Geoff. We celebrated many occasions together, some of my favorite being watching the planes soar and scream overhead during SeaFair.

Evan was kind, gentle, adored his kids, and made every event distinctly brighter. He was never far from something sweet, whether a bowl of ice cream or a cookie. He was and is loved and we miss him keenly.

Tom and I would see your dad almost everyday trying to complete his goal of walking on every street in Fairfield Plantation which he did accomplish. He always had a smile on his face and would stop in the yard to chat. I’ll always remember his “half man days” as he used to call them getting necessary chores completed which Tom and I have adopted into our daily lives. Evan, you’ll be greatly missed but not forgotten
