I wish to express my profound condolences to family and friends of Blake Evans.
I offer my thanks for the true character that is embodied in this American soldier. May your sorrow be tempered by the fact that we now honor a true hero who answered the call to serve his country and dedicate a precious segment of his life to freedom.
In your difficult times be mindful that Blake has left a mark on our world and in our hearts.
Stand Down Sgt.Evans. Your watch has ended. You made a difference. You will be missed.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sgt. Blake W. Evans. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Blake.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

| Our heart felt condolences to the Evans family and friends in the loss of Blake. Thank you for his service to this great country. Our prayers go out to God for you in this time of loss. Blake served to give us the freedom we now enjoy so much and for that he is one of the GREAT AMERICAN HEROS of the land. God bless your family and friends. Wish I could have shaken his hand and told him thank you myself. God tells us that “Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) As Christ our Lord laid down His life for us that believe in Him for salvation, so your love one has laid down his life for us for our freedom. This act has made him a Super Hero in my heart and I thank-you deeply for this sacrifice made for our freedoms. I pray that God will now bless your lives and help you see how great a thing this is which your loved one has done. The FALLEN MILITARY MEMBER has shown this country his greatest love for country and friends |
