Evans obituary in full
Kurtis was known for his radiant smile and his kind, compassionate soul. He had an extraordinary gift for forming deep connections with people from all walks of life, remaining steadfastly dedicated to his friends and loved ones. A natural athlete, he thrived in various sports and had a deep passion for the outdoors, cherishing moments spent with family and friends, many of whom became like family themselves.
He is lovingly remembered by his parents, Brad and Holly Evans (Malloy), and his brother, Jackson (Hailey Parsons). He was a treasured grandson to Dean and Carolyn Evans, and Donald (deceased) and Carol Malloy. He is also mourned by his uncles and aunts, Tim and Tracy Evans, Deanna Evans and Paul Wilms, Poppi Malloy and Roger Vousden, and Sean Malloy, as well as his cousins, Connor (Katie), Avery, Marigold, Sam, Martina, and Wendel.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the medical professionals who cared for Kurtis throughout his journey, as well as the friends and family whose support was invaluable during this time. A special thanks goes to his girlfriend, Kenzie Cunningham, for her unwavering love and support.
His life will always be remembered my family and friends who are Brad and Holly along with his brother Jackson. His family has told all that they would appreciate a donation to the Ewings Cancer Foundation of Canada in a tribute to the loss of their son.
2024 has been a painful year for loss of hockey players as several players including prominent ones in the NHL including the late Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew who were tragically killed, I have alleged drunk driver in late August while cycling on the side of the road.
We offer our sympathies and condolences to the Evans family along with the OHL and the North Bay Battalion for their loss.
