Evan William O'Neill

Over 20 years ago, I attended Evan's Funeral (Dewhirst & Conte) and waited in the long line to pay my respects. The first thing I saw was a video showing Evan as a little boy. Then when I saw Evan in his uniform, and his fellow soldiers standing by him, it reminded me of my own recent loss of my youngest son Richard, who also was born in April like Evan.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the O'Neill Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. ...

I wrote on the Heroes website yesterday Evan, but I will join the others and say, "thank you for your service and sacrifices, Evan...Rest In Peace... You have Climbed To Glory....
