The Lewis family is facing an unimaginable tragedy with their son, Evan. Evan had recently graduated from Florida State Fire College and was beginning his career with Marion County Fire Department as a Firefighter/EMT is currently on life-support, and in his final act of generosity will be donating his organs to help others.

This selfless decision comes at a time of immense pain and uncertainty for the family as they navigate the emotional and financial challenges that follows such a heartbreaking event. He had his whole life ahead of him, dedicated to serving his community, and his passing will leave a deep void in the hearts of his loved ones. Adrian, Evan’s father, is a first responder who has devoted his life to helping others, but nothing could have prepared him for this heartbreak.

The family is now confronted with mounting medical bills and cost associated with funeral arrangements. These expenses add to the stress and sorrow; they are experiencing making it difficult to focus on healing and honoring their son's memory.

I ask that we come together as a community and help ease the burden and show them they are not alone during this difficult time. No parent should ever lose a child at any age.

Your support whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser will make a meaningful difference for the Lewis family. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference, offering hope and comfort when it’s needed most.
