Evan also leaves behind his devoted girlfriend, Megan Andes, of Spring Hill whom he called the love of his life.
Evan was a 2015 graduate of BGA and attended the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The things he lived for were his friendships and his family. Evan loved the outdoors and considered the mountains of Chattanooga his sanctuary. He cared deeply for animals. Kayaking, fishing, hiking, and family boating were how Evan loved to spend his time. His passion for physical fitness was instilled in him by his dad. Evan was a true creative and deep thinker - "outside the box" was his thing.
