He is survived by his mother and father, Trish and Jerry Evers; his brothers, Brad and Zack; his sister and soulmate, Mari Beth; nephew, Jacob Evers; grandmother, Kathy Evers; aunts, Anna Shubeau, Mari Miljour, Candy Evers, Janie Whitmore and all their families. He was preceded in death by his loving grandparents, George and Darlene Burgi and Pete Evers.
Dear sweet Mikel, you will be greatly missed. We were blessed for 29 years with deep love and happiness. Mikel was loved by so many people, had a passion for life and never wasted a minute. He was always positive and brought life, laughter and entertainment to everyone. Despite some recent battles, he was focused and struggled to do what was right and best. Mikel, you are a brave soul with a huge heart and we love you more than words or actions could ever say. Thank you for the love you have shared with the world, especially in St. Augustine and Nicaragua. Your generosity to the children there was profound. Mikel had a passion for surfing, skimboarding, wakeboarding, and boating. He was a natural horticulturist and grew many palms, papaya trees and plumerias. There was never a time when Mikel wasn't involved in a project, from building a spontaneous chicken coop on a Sunday or creating solar panel systems to run his fish pond. He loved children and they loved him. We are honored by having him in our lives. He lived the Irie Life.
To all of Mikel's friends and family all over the world, we greatly appreciate all the love that you have shared with Mikel. He loved you all so much. His room was filled with pictures everywhere of him and his friends and family having fun times. He loved so many of us, but his one true love was IRIE, who we also love so much. Thank you all so much for being a part of his life. Feel free to wear your tropical attire and bring your good energy.
There will be a beach front service and Hawaiian Paddle-out out at D St, St. Augustine Beach, at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014. There also will be an evening celebration with pictures, movies, and memories at Mojo's on Vilano starting at 5 p.m. Donation to The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Dear Mikel, my beautiful son, not barely a minute goes by without thinking of you or feeling your amazing life and the sorrow that you were taken far too soon. Every day is still one foot in front of the other. I miss you as much as ever but my deepest pain is that you are missing from all we do, all we live and all we are. You were and are such an integral part of our lives and I just truly pray you are alive and well in another realm and you are at peace and feel all the love I have for you. I pray for truth to come forward . I pray for you to be honored for the sacrifice you made to protect others. You will never be forgotten, even though you said people forget so fast. I promise, my precious amazing Mikel. Love Always, Mom XOXO

My family and two other families rented a house this week at the end of D Street. After seeing the beautiful memorial by the boardwalk, I looked Mikel up. I am so moved by the obituary. The description of this man is really one of a beautiful soul.
I will be praying for Mikel and for his family and friends who have clearly lost a great friend and loved one. I am sure his spirit very much lives on with all of you. God Bless you Mikel.

While heading toward the beach from The Magic Beach motel one night for a walk, I noticed a young woman park her car and arrange some lights around a stone near the pavillion. When she left I went to investigate and learned about Mikel. I was very moved by the words about him and it reminded me of how fortunate I am to have my siblings. I watched the surfers on Vilano beach the next day and left a shell for Mikel.

I don't know your family but I do know the pain of loss of a sibling, my brother, Michael. My sisters and I just got back from visiting St. Augustine and we stayed at the Hampton Inn at Vilano Beach. I saw the memorial for Mikel and it so touched my heart, and now reading all of the words from those who knew Mikel and his kindness and loving heart really makes my heart ache for his Mom, Dad and siblings. I will keep you all in my prayers for comfort and peace. I went to the The Lord for my comfort and to my siblings after my brother left this world. I am a mother to 4 grown children and I am just so very very sorry for all of your pain and especially to Mikel's mother, Trish. I wish I could give you a hug, even though I know nothing can give you complete healing for such a loss of your beautiful son. I pray the beautiful memories you hold in your hearts and minds for Mikel will bring a smile to you and that the love you have for one another will bring much comfort.

My dear Mikel,
I miss you beyond words. My heart is heavy and my mind is lost, my soul longing to see you and hug you and know you are ok. I can not believe this is true, you were so young and so beautiful. There is a void which can not be filled, ever. You brought so much life to our family and everything seems broken now. We love you more than you knew. I am sorry I didn't see things more clearly and now I feel all you were feeling. My prayer is one day we will be reunited and justice will come to all who violates you and ribbed your spirit and have you hopelessness , fear and doom. May you be in God's love dorever and always and may we meet again.
All my love,
Mom xoxo

I love you more than words could ever express. I don't know how I'm going to make it without you, being you are the only person to ever understand me. We are missing you always. Everything is gloomy even on the brightest of days. I hope you're feeling the most alive and appreciated.

Mikel, I think of you every day. I see you every day. In the sky, in the ocean, in the distance. Every butterfly, every bird above that catches my attention. I always think is you. It makes me look at these things a little longer. Makes the ocean, like your eyes, sparkle under the sun and the sound of a wave crashing becomes a steady resting heartbeat. I realize how peacefully that bird glides with your grace and with such little effort floats on the breeze. How that butterfly like your excited dancing feet, bounces playfully in circles around me in anticipation of an impetuous adventure. I know you are here. I miss your physical presence with all that I am Mikel. But I am so grateful that you have imbued the world around us with your heart and beauty so that we may take a few extra moments to appreciate our world. Please be present in our world and continue to remind us to love as you loved and as we all love you. Thank you Mikel for simply being you.

Mikel was usually more excited about other people's success than he was his own he loved to watch people accomplish things and he outwardly expressed his excitement. He talked me into learning how to surf at the age of 28 I was terrible at it but managed to get on my knees and surf for a few seconds and he was super excited for me he didn't care that I face planted the sand on the beach he was excited about those few seconds I was able to be on that board.

Dear precious Mikel,
I still keep looking for you , maybe here or maybe spirit. I feel I need to get home sometimes so I can see you. Maybe you are right here with us. I just want you to know I live you so s much and I pray we will be reunited and be together again. I promise I will try to do a better job ,life is learning and we really had some bad curve balls, but I pray you are at peace and are receiving all the love we who are left behind, are sending to you. We miss you terribly, it will never be the same. Every day is just one more day of missing you, waiting for you to come home. You were amazing here with us and your friends and especially Itie. he loves you and is being a brave strong boy. Thank you for giving me so many happy years having you as my baby... My boy. I love you forever and ever. XOXO Mom

Mikel, it's been over a year now. The milestone has come and gone. This message board closes tomorrow and your birthday and death day will come and go next year. Though the parties and friends may wane this next year, know that we will never really heal, we will all always miss you, we will always wish you were at the beach, at the party, at the weddings with us. Helping raise our kids as the cool uncle, helping other learn to surf and wakeskim, cultivating some new palm or orchid. You were one of a kind and no one will ever fill your shoes or bring more outpouring of our community. You will not be forgotten, the pain will not subside. Just greet me with open arms when my time comes. #irielife

Dearest Mikel~ Did you know how much you are loved, by so many? If you didn't know then, you must know now for sure. Love for you has brought so many together to celebrate your life. May your soul be free and happy and filled with that love, and may your journey bring you back again soon.

Mikel,
You were the first person i met in St. Augustine. From that moment we spent the next two weeks together. from there i don't think we spent more than two weeks apart. You were my brother for two years. We did everything together. You made me feel as if i knew you from birth. I had the best time of my life those two short years. We won Halloween costume contests, loved St. Patties Day, and spring break was ours. I still feel like this is a bad dream that i haven't woken up from yet. You were such a free spirit. You introduced me to your family and they took me in as one of their own. Some of the best times were hanging out with Zack and your dad, Jerry, going for drives on Vilano beach in your old beat u ford f150 that had a wood tailgate with a peace sign spray painted on it. We cut up a sailboat in your mom's backyard with sawmills. Still not sure if that was the best idea but we got it done. I have so many great memories with you it would take me days to write them out. I love you with all my heart and will never forget the times we had being young and dumb. Evers 4 life. Keep Shining my Brother. I will see you someday in the future and you better laugh that laugh. Smile that smile. Peace Mikel. Bye for now...

My family welcomed you as one of us, vice versa. So I say our family loves and misses you. Rest in Peace Mikel.

Mikel.. You were truly a legend and celebrity of our generation. Someone who's stories will live on forever. A go-getter, an extremist, a live life to the fullest kind of guy. I can't remember a time I went down to the beach that you weren't there surfing, taking in a sunrise or sunset, teaching someone how to play in the waves at any given moment.. The ocean was your playground for sure! There are too many words to describe the person you were but you will live on in my heart forever just as you will for any and every heart you have touched on you travels through this lifetime. Keep shining Mikel! Miss and love you forever.

I Truly Believe God Has Special Allowances For Some Of The Most Weary, Downtrodden Souls That By No Fault Of Their Own Have Struggled With The Misery Of Not Being Able To Make Every Decision That Always Comes To The Fruition Of Perfection. If This Were True You Would Be The Messiah Jesus Christ! Because HE Is The ONLY PERFECT MAN TO COME IN HUMAN FORM AND NEVER FALL TO THE STRUGGLES AND TEMPTATIONS AROUND HIM! MIKEL BEN, I REMEMBER YOU BEING CALLED THAT WHEN SEEING YOU WHEN YOU WERE ABOUT 3 YRS OLD & CAME TO BAMA TO VISIT THE WHITMORE'S & HOW FORTUNATE FOR THE EXTENDED WHITMORE'S THAT LIVED NEXT DOOR! BEAUTIFUL WHITE HAIR-DARK SKIN-CHOCOLATE EYES- HEY I JUST DESCRIBED ALISHA ALSO DIDN'T I? LOL.YOU TWO WERE VERY MUCH ALIKE IN SO MANY WAYS EXCEPT FOR SIZE, BUT LOOKING AT Y'ALL YOU COULD PASS FOR TWINS! ANYWAY I HAD THE MOST CONTACT WITH YOU BECAUSE BRAD AND ALEX WERE OFF DOING THEIR OWN THING BUT I WANTED TO BE AROUND YOU TWO! FUNNY SWEET PRECIOUS!! THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU WAS WHEN YOU AND YOUR DAD CAME UP FOR A VISIT JUST THE TWO OF YOU AND YOU WERE AROUND 10 YRS OLD. THAT WAS A GREAT VISIT AND YOUR DAD COULD NOT STOP TELLING US ENOUGH HOW GREAT IT WAS FOR IT TO BE JUST THE TWO OF YOU AND WHAT A GREAT CONNECTION YOU HAD MADE. MY LAST VISION OF YOU WAS YOU WALKING OUT TO THE TRUCK TO LEAVE ALEX'S BASEBALL GAME WE WERE AT AND SEEING YOU FADE INTO THE DISTANT DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT. I HOPE THERE WILL BE A DAY THAT I WILL HAVE THE GOOD FORTUNE OF SEEING YOU AGAIN IN HEAVEN AS THAT'S WHERE I STRIVE TO GO SOME DAY. LOVE YOU.

Please know my heart is with you every beat it makes and I pray one day we will be reunited .until my dear precious child be at peace and be free from all your suffering and know you will always be loved and missed.

This is to the family of Mikel Benjamin Evers: My husband and I met Mike only once when we were visiting our son at their workplace in St. Augustine. I remember the energy your son, brother, nephew and friend put out. He was happy. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling. My son, his friend, were the same age. Please believe he is in Heaven and at peace. FAITH=PEACE. Sincerely, Kathy Smith

Mike, you are truly missed by all. We were friends at a young age, just hanging out at the beach. You and Brad were the reason I had a passion for skimming at a young age. The memories of us at the beach are still fresh in my mind. Our paths in life went separate ways, but crossed from time to time. You never let negativity into your head or heart. Save a wave for me up there brother.

The way you lived your life to the fullest has been an inspiration to me since we first met. You surrounded yourself with the nature, whether you were gardening or enjoying the outdoors. You did truly amazing things with your time. Most people go through life doing what they think they should do and ignore their passions. Your kindness to others will never be forgotten. St. Augustine Beach will not be the same with out your smile. Goodbye my friend.

Mikel I am still in disbelief but at least now we all know that whatever you were fighting can now be at rest. I came to st augustine late in my life and you were one of the first people to accept me for me and to be real. The one thing I will always remember will be the real ness that you always brought. Thanks for being such a great person, friend and humanitarian. We are all lucky to have known you. Rest in peace buddy.

Mike made an impact on my (now) 16 year old son back at age 7 just by being kind to him one day on the beach. Over time, we were honored to have known him through a wonderful network of friends. Although I never got to thank him for that day, I will always remember it.
He will be dearly missed...
