We have lost a great friend and fishing buddy. We have had so many good times and laughs with Evan. He was always there when we called him. Fridays about noon he would roll in Rock Hall ready to go fishing. Last year during corn season Evan was out there with us in some terrible heat picking corn for the sale. We will miss Evan so much and Teri we know you are lost without him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family RIP in Evan we miss you!

Terri, We have only been in Rock Hall the last couple of years but it was great to reunite with Evan after the infamous Skipjack days. It didn't take long to realize that everyone knew him and liked him. We always waited to see what Evan was bringing in at the tournaments and he always gave us good advice. There is no doubt that he will be missed by many. We are so sorry for your loss and you are in our thoughts. Diane & Walt

Terri , we are so sorry to hear of your loss. We have many happy memories of our wonderful boat neighbor at North Point for so many years . Many memories of great fish and crab catches and we enjoyed eating his catches as well! He was a good friend to us both. We will miss him and you. Keep in touch, Ken and Deb.

In Rock Hall, Crabbing With Evan. Everyday down there with him was perfect day.

So much we can say about Evan. He loved and lived life. Such a fun, quick witted guy to be around. Chuck always says if the boat is moving Evan is on it, he loved fishing and being with the guys. He will be so missed by his fishing buddies and all of our group in Rock Hall. Love and Miss you Evan. RIP Chuck and Jane

We are so sorry for your loss Terri. Evan was one in a million. He always took time to inquiry about our Chesapeake excursions and to share his stories of his fishing adventures. We always had a good laugh and got a kick out the fact that he loved to fish but never enjoyed eating his catch. Evan would always share his fresh catch of the day with us. He was truly a great man and we will certainly miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Always great to talk to. Will miss seeing the fish you caught and hearing you say "Got to use the right bait". From one slip holder family to yours, our deepest sympathy. Rest in Peace Evan.
