Evan passed away on July 5, 2024, due to a tragic shooting accident in Nampa, ID. Evan was 26 years old. Evan was born on August 31, 1997, in Carmichael, California. Evan grew up in Rocklin, CA, with his mother Keri, stepfather Mark, and five siblings (Sean, Hailey, Kristin, Scott, and Grace), and in Orangevale, CA, with his father Ray, stepmother Andrea, and three siblings (Joseph, Isabel, and David). Evan attended Parker Whitney Elementary, Spring View Middle School, and graduated from Victory High School in 2016. As a child and adult, Evan loved new adventures. He was always willing to give something a try and jumped in when someone needed help. Evan had a knack for taking stuff apart just to see how it worked and usually never putting it back together. As a toddler at the age of 3, we learned this after he took the doorknob off his grandma’s bedroom door just so he could get into her room to say hi. His most favorite things as a child were riding his scooters and dirt bikes and swimming at neighbors houses. This continued into his teenage years, when he was convinced he would be a professional scooter rider someday. As an adult, Evan still loved a good adventure. He loved working on trucks, going shooting with his buddies, camping, and going on road trips. Evan moved to Nampa, Idaho, in the spring of 2022. Evan spent most of his time working, hanging out with his friends on some new adventures, and hanging out with family and helping with farm chores. Evan had many jobs as a young adult and had many dreams. Evans first job was at Chuck E Cheese. In between his first and last jobs, he worked with his dad Ray doing electrical work, worked as a repair tech at Camping World, and was a garage door installer for Action Garage Doors. His final and most favorite job was as a welder, gate fabricator, and installer for Gatekeepers out of Kuna. Evan is preceded in death by many great-grandparents: Grandmother Linda Neubarth (maternal), Grandfather Keith Wilhite, and Great Aunt Carol Morrison. Evan is survived by his mother, Keri Wilhite, stepfather, Mark Wilhite, and siblings, Sean Wilhite, Hailey Wilhite, Kristin Wilhite, Scott Wilhite, and Grace Wilhite.
