Max
Ryan Evans, born on April 29, 2008, passed away unexpectedly in the arms of his
mommy and daddy on December 2, 2011.
Max was born in College Station, Texas. He was lovingly
cared for by teachers at Brazos Valley Montessori where his favorite activities
were working with the phonics tub, eyedroppers, writing his name in sand and
Lincoln Logs. He loved attending Sunday school at Grace Bible Church's Southwood
Campus. Max was a funny, charismatic, smart little boy who was loved by many.
With a head full of curls and gray-blue eyes, he was beautiful. But his smile,
sweetness, and spirit were what really made him shine.
Max had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. He
knew what he wanted to do and was pretty stubborn if anyone suggested otherwise.
He loved singing Happy Birthday at birthday parties and had recently learned to
spell his name. He was a cuddly little boy who loved to be held, especially by
his mommy. Max loved to cook, listen to Bluegrass music, create art, and work in
the garage with his daddy. He loved construction equipment, chips and queso,
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Phineas and Ferb, and lately, anything to do with
super heroes. He fully participated in events at his sister's Girl Scout
meetings, so much so that we are pretty sure he thought he was a Girl Scout. He
enjoyed playing across the street with Bethany, Little Hollie and Klayton and
being spoiled by his grandparents and aunts.
But most of all, he loved spending time with his big
sister Holly. They played "Puppy" and "Mommy", did
experiments with various pantry items, and wrestled and cuddled daily. They
truly were best friends. Max was loved by his daddy and mommy, James and
Veronica; his sister Holly Rosina; Grandpa Max, Grandma Ginger, Granddad Pat,
and Grandma Rosina; Aunt Teresa, Aunt Patty and Aunt Shelly; cousins Natalie and
Matthew; and so many family and friends. He will join his great granddaddy and
buddy, Maxie, in Heaven.

TEAM 4MAX
Max's father James is very active in the local car clubs, both the Brazos Valley Street Beasts, and the Texas A&M Sports car club. It was through the TAMSCC that we met James and his family, and our team of drivers all have TAMSCC affiliation. It was our privilege to carry a theme for Max using his favorite color, bright pink, to accent our well-worn Camaro for the recent race at Eagles Canyon. We were proud to take the checker flag with our car carrying his name.
