Hello Pughe family and friends of Evan Pughe. My name is Ryan Uffner and I was in Evan’s small group in Georgia when I was here. Me and Evan kept in touch regularly when he moved to Florida. He loved Jesus so much and just radiated a light that was so evident.
One of my favorite memories of Evan is when I was newer in my faith in 2021 I wanted to get in a rythym of reading my Bible and Evan instantly offered his time. The Lord was telling me to read Psalms. We went through all of Psalms 1 per day for 150 straight days and that helped me get in a rythym. I can now look back at my notes in my Bible and see his wisdom. I’ll share a tid bit. He said this about Psalm 26 “It is a Psalm that deals in its entirety with how we can repel and get away from infamy. It gives us all kinds of instructions so that we have a straight path to follow faith, away from people who want to disturb our faith.”
Evan had such depth in his knowledge of the Bible and it’s something I will never forget. He certainly left a life trail that led back to Jesus. He led so many to Jesus here and I know touched so many lives in Florida as I see here with all these posts.
I love you brother and you have lived a full life. Theres no doubt in my mind that you were told well done good and faithful servant.
Pughe family and friends we are praying for you everyday. I’m happy to pray with anyone grieving, please don’t hesitate to give me a call 678-315-5545

Evan. I know how deeply you loved God, and your living testimony has had a profound impact on my life. While your presence will be greatly missed, I find comfort in knowing that you are now at peace, resting in the presence of Jesus. There, you are free from pain and sorrow, surrounded by endless grace and beauty, praising God for all eternity. Evan. I appreciate you! Greatly miss you and wish I had gotten to know you better. Thank you for your great and positive impact and influence on my life.

I am a junior at Calvary Christian Academy, I attend church on Saturday nights and Evan was my small group leader for our junior guys group, he was truly a great guy with kind heart that really loved the Lord, it was so apparent, the way he worshipped, treated others and listened to us. He taught me what it meant to be a man of God, when I was younger I didn't understand how to be that but he talked to me about his experiences with Jesus, fasting and everything else, it helped to see Jesus in a different way. He was a perfect example of a man that had a heart after God, he had no shame in it and he had pride that he was a child of God. See you one day my brotha. -Nate

Evan is greatly admired and appreciated, and he will be truly missed. Every time I went to an event with Kappa Phi, Evan never failed to show up with a smile on his face and warmth in his heart. He always made me feel so welcome. Despite arriving very insecure, Evan made me feel like the most important person in the room. His memory will live on in all of those he impacted with the love of Christ.

I am so sorry to hear about Evan and am praying for your family.
I went to high school at Orangewood with Evan (and Meredith). He sat near (or maybe even next to me) in morning assembly since it was ABC order and we were in a lot of classes together (AP Calculs was one for sure). I remember him being so nice and definitely funny!
I am praying for your entire family during this very difficult time. May the Lord give you peace knowing that Evan is watching over you all every single day! My condolences.

Dear Pughe Family, we are so extremely sorry for your loss. We considered Evan part of our own small tribe here at Bonterra/Concha y Toro. I was so proud to have Evan on our Sales Team and our entire organization is mourning the loss of our bright young star. Evan and I were together with our entire Florida Team back in July where we shared stories of cooking and love of food and wine. He was always so positive and enthusiastic about his passions and I always learned something new in my conversations with him. We will always honor having Evan as part of our team and part of our lives. What a gift to have known him.
