Evan was my first best friend in my life. I lived a few houses down from him in half moon. Although I lost almost all contact with him after moving, hearing about this hit really hard. I Am a Wrester At Ballston Spa High School, and I wanted to let the Yarter Family, that my wrestling season is dedicated to Evan.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Since the day you were born you were my absolute everything. I couldnt wait to get up at Gram's house and call Aunt Debbie to come play with you :) Watching you grow up over these years, changing from a baby boy to almost a grown man, has always made me so proud. I will never let go of any of my memories of you. Seek peace in God's arms Evan, we will never forget you.
