I knew Evans brother Ryan for many years before I met Evan.  I always looked up to Ryan as a fisherman and I learned a lot from the guy.  After Ryan stopped guiding I had the honour to fish along side Evan.

I remember on one occasion of being in a derby with Evan. We both had one guest each and it was an annual event for our guests. They were brothers and only wanted to catch and release. We battled it out for days, daily he made me nervous because he was an excellent fisherman. On the last day on a lucky tide I taped out the winning fish.

I’ll always remember the grace and good attitude he showed after putting in the hard work. Great sportsman, great fisherman and a great loss to so many. I’ll always be grateful for that weekend we spent grinding it out together.

Rest well buddy 

I never thought I would be doing this for Evan. I will never forgot such an incredible guy that I was lucky enough to have known. You were an incredible friend to Dan, and I will always appreciate that. The laughs we shared, fights we had, and many memories created I will cherish forever. I will live this life I have to the fullest, with less stress and more of a care free attitude in honour of you Von, “(insert Evan’s laugh) I love that she calls me that.” I miss you, I will always miss you. Rest easy, you are in a good place. 

Love you forever Von, I will never forget.

Ev,

You were a huge part of my life. I just have to be thankful for our years together. You taught me a lot of things over these years. The one thing that I will always remember from you, is not to be “too harsh on yourself, and do what makes you happy”. You lived life deeply and chased your dreams while always having a huge contagious smile on your face.

I will only have good memories of you and of us.

I’m just so glad that we were able to share more memories and laughs a few weeks ago. You said beautiful things as always. You were always so good with words, a true poet.

You were special. A gift. An angel.

You will always be my first and only love.

You knew that.

Aspen and I will miss you a lot.

I hope you are resting in peace, and receiving all the hugs and love from us.

We will meet again🤍

With all my love,

Gaia Boim
