On July 21st, Evanson suffered a massive brainstem stroke. He remains in the ICU in critical condition, and while his prognosis is still unknown, he is surrounded by love. His wife, Shey, and their family have been navigating this crisis with immense strength — balancing hospital updates, caring for their young children, and holding onto hope as they face the unimaginable.

Evanson is the brightest light-- he is warm and joyful, endlessly positive, and deeply devoted to his family. His presence brings ease and a peaceful lightheartedness. To know him is to know that signature Evanson smile-- that one that wins over strangers, lights up a room before he even says a word...and the one that somehow makes the world feel softer, even on the hardest of days.

As Shey focuses on being by his side and supporting their children through this unimaginable time, we’re asking for help in surrounding his sweet family with love, care, and generosity.

This GoFundMe has been created to help ease the many burdens that come with a medical crisis. Your support — whether financial or through sharing this page — will help give Shey and the kids space to breathe while they navigate the road ahead. Thank you for showing up for this incredible family. Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express.

Created by Melissa Freeark, one of many, many friends who love him dearly.
