Max Rohan Evans
Our Little Meatball
Our sweet baby boy, little brother to Kaia, was unexpectedly called home to watch over us from Heaven on July 8, 2008. Our lives are forever changed.
Max was born December 15, 2007 in West Jordan, Utah to Jeremy and Carri Evans. He was Daddy’s Boy and Mamma’s world. Everyone who met Max fell in love with his Michelin-Man-like physique. When he smiled, the sparkle in his eyes would light up the room. Max was a ray of sunshine that melted the grumpiest of hearts. Max was irresistible to all who passed by him.
Max is survived by his parents and his 2 year old sister; grandparents Shawna Anderson, Lamar Anderson, Ben (Karen) Evans, Vicki Smith; great grandparents Ralph and Marcia Tucker; very special great-aunt Pat Rugg; great-great grandma Maurine Mower; and many other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
A wake to celebrate Max’s life will be held Friday, July 11th from 6 to 8 pm at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City, where complimentary valet service will be provided.
Funeral Services will be held Saturday, July 12th at 10:00 AM at the Hillcrest 9th Ward, 915 E. Peach Blossom (9050 South) with a viewing one hour prior to services. Interment to follow at Sandy City Cemetery, 700 East 9000 South, Sandy.
Donations may be made to the family in honor of Max Evans Memorial Fund at any Wells Fargo Bank.

My dear, sweet little Max-i! Momma loves and misses you so much.My heart is so empty without your smiling face and your snuggles. Please don't ever forget about us and how much we love you.

Carri and Jeremy My thoughts and prayers are with you both at this terribly difficult time in your lives. I know how emply your arms must feel, and how broken your hearts. Max must be a very special spirit to have been spared the heartaches of this life. Only someone who has lost a child can truly empathize with your loss. Know that as time goes on the terrible pain will lessen, but the sweet and beautiful memories of him will always remain. He will be your precious baby boy forever. Again, know how much we all care aabout you. May God bless you with the strength to endure.

Carri, Jeremy and little Kaia, If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven and bring him back again. We are deeply saddened by the loss of your sweet baby boy. These trying times in life are the ones that truly make us cherish what we have. Words simply can't express the compassion we feel for you. If only there were a way to alleviate your pain. Just know that you are in our thoughts and our prayers. God bless you and we love you all dearly.

Carri, Jeremy, and Kaia I had a pleasure of seeing this boy almost every day, and although it was just for moments at a time, there was always a positive comment about how cute and cuddly he is. My heart just breaks knowing about his passing. I know he has touched so many people in the short time he was here. I know my daughter will surley miss him, as well as so many others. May you find peace and comfort at this time, and know that you are in our prayers.

I bet he is in the lords arms looking down at you right now sending comfort your way. Our thoughts and prayer are with you every second of every day. We Love You!! I wanted to leave you this poem "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same." ~ Flavia Weedn

Kaia, Our little firecracker, You are too young to understand any of this tragedy. (I am 20x's your age and I do not understand). You need to know that you have been a wonderful sister to Max. He was never far from your ever watchful eye. We know how much you love him by the sweetest way you would call out to him. You will grow into a young lady that Max can be proud of. Someday we hope you will find some sort of comfort as you learn about him and his special perch in Heaven where he watches over you. We love all of you...you know where to call.
