My heart aches for you and your family. I am always here, in any way you need me to be.

To the Thompson Family.. You never got a chance to meet us. But we met your son Evan on several occasions with our grand daughter Kylie. We are very impressed with him. His huge smile. You could tell he was a kind soul. The smiles on Kylie said it all. He brought out her sunshine. I hope she did the same for him. As a parent we wonder How does our child act when we're not around. I just want you to know, you would be proud. Our whole family feel great sorrow and saddness for your loss. But honored to have known him.

Evan was a dear friend of our son Ryan. We really loved him and he will always have a very special place in our hearts. It was always so nice to see him, usually with Kylie, greeting us with his big smile and sometimes hugs. I will always miss my fellow Denver Bronco fan around here. This is truly a tragic loss to this world but Heaven has gained a beautiful Angel. Our thoughts and prayers are with his parents, brother, family, his girlfriend Kylie and all of his friends. With All Our Love Chuck, Leah & Ryan Kenneson
