Maya Angelou wrote, “People will forget what you said, will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Evan was gifted in making others feel they mattered. If you were in a football stadium or sitting next to him in his car, Evan made you feel like you were the only one there. He was often loudest and always funniest in the room. He was smart, witty, fiercely loyal, and empathetic. He enjoyed golfing, reading Calvin & Hobbs and Hunter S. Thompson. Evan's music passion ranged from Tupac to Johnny Cash. Evan was a General Manager for Marriott Hotel. Evan was not defined by his disease; indeed, his struggle was valiant. He is preceded in death by his sister, Courtney Campbell. Survivors: He is survived by his father, Vic Ekholm; mother, Nancy (Bunting) Larson; stepfather, Rick Larson; brother, Britt Ekholm; stepsiblings, Leigh Larson and Richard Larson III; numerous other family members; and countless friends.
