William Michael Evans was a beloved little boy whose life was taken far too soon, and his family is now facing a heartbreak no family should ever have to endure. Right now, the focus is on surrounding William’s loved ones with compassion as they grieve this unimaginable loss and begin the painful process of honoring his memory. William was deeply loved by so many, especially his grandparents, Mike and Tina, affectionately known as PawPaw and Nonna, as well as his aunt Allison, who he called Aunt Alli, and her goldendoodle, Louie.

Funds raised will help provide a celebration of life and a memorial in William’s honor, giving family, friends, and loved ones the chance to come together, remember him, and celebrate the precious life he lived.

William’s Nonna, Tina, hopes to honor his memory by establishing a foundation in his name—one that carries forward the love, kindness, and light William brought into the lives of those around him. The foundation’s mission will be to support children facing circumstances similar to those William and his loved ones experienced, providing compassion, resources, and meaningful support during some of life’s most difficult moments.

The foundation will be created in William’s honor so that his name may live on not only in the hearts of those who loved him, but also through acts of kindness and support for children who need it most.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, would mean so much to this grieving family. If giving is not possible, sharing this fundraiser or keeping William and his family in your thoughts and prayers is deeply appreciated. Thank you for surrounding this family with compassion, love, and support during such an incredibly painful time.

Rest peacefully, sweet William. You are loved, you are remembered, and you will never be forgotten.
