Uncle Mike June 28, 1953- July 8, 2008

MICHAEL GRANT EVANS



Uncle Mike Passed Away Last week. We held the funeral yesterday.

It was a beautiful service and everyone came down.

It was amazing all of the people that showed up at the church.

I ended up giving the Eulogy yesterday, I cried... but I know he is in a better place

here is a piece of what I wrote...
What is it that we remember most about Mike? I think everyone who knows him would agree with me on this he was the most genuine, kind hearted, loving man. His eyes were so pure and could see straight to your soul. His smile would warm the heart of any that met him.
He was a very loyal and kind friend. He was also very polite; he was the kind of man who always offered his hand if we ever needed anything. He was a true man of faith, a simple man with a gentle soul, who loved his family and faith in god like no other.

Mike will forever live in my heart and All of our hearts...
I will be forever grateful to have known Uncle Mike
Mike is in heaven now.This is not the time for us to grieve his death but it's our time to celebrate his life. He wanted to make everyone happy. So at this moment when we are about to lay his body to rest, let's all think back and remember how Mike touched our lives. How he made us laugh and how good of a person Mike always was.
Although it is sad that Mike is no longer with us and he will forever be missed, I know in the right time, I will meet Mike again.We all will...but until then I know he is with his mom, my grandma ...and who knows what kind of mischief those two are going to get into now that they are together again. It is good that they have each other and god has them to look after all of us... for our sake. So let us remember him and SMILE because he will continue to live in our hearts and mind forever. We love you Mike. Amen.
