David Evans Obituary

It has been a year and I miss you more with each passing day; my love for you has not dimmed. You were my life, my love, my teacher, my soul mate. In the darkness of your void, your light shines bright forever in my heart. My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go. And I treasure every moment I had with you.

I'm so sorry to hear of David's passing. We spent many hours around the neighborhood in our youth playing, often with Jeff, going to Manzelman's to play with the Lionel trains, dreaming about owning our own, riding our bikes to Whalen Pool (David on his hard-earned Schwinn Roadmaster), and in general having wonderful times in the warmth of summer and the cold of winter. It has been many years since I last saw David - out here in Beverly Hills in the mid '70's. Hopefully, through the length of his life he found some real happiness and satisfaction. In his younger years those things seemed just out of reach for him. I hope before his days ended that he got there. David, I shall think of you from time to time and fondly remember.

David meant so much to my sister, Ruth Loewenstein. I will always be grateful for his presence in her life (and mine). He was so considerate when my son was diagnosed with melanoma; it meant a great deal to me to be able to converse with a dermatologist who willingly and patiently answered all my questions. It made a difficult time much easier for me and for my family.

I shall miss his sense of humor, his concern for my adult children, and all the gifts he brought to his relationship with Ruth. May he rest in peace.

I met David in Springfield, IL in the mid 1980's. I was a young man; David was worldly and well traveled. He was a part of my transition to adulthood. He was often telling me stories of things that happen in an unjust world and offering me strategies to protect myself. He would always say, “Learn from my mistakes”. David saw many of my dreams come true and I always enjoyed his company. Our contact was on and off through the years but our friendship remained intact.
He was very proud of his son Mathew and grateful to Harriet for being such a good Mother. David has a wonderful legacy in his son. David loved Mathew very much and I know he considered being a father to be an incredible experience. I wish Mathew and Harriet strength. I encourage both of you to hold on to the good memories you have of him.
When Harriet tracked me down as old friends do at times like these, I was praying for her not to say the words. It is funny how you know when you get “the call”. I enjoyed a long talk with her about things old and new. I laughed at some memories and wept at others. After we hung up I felt a strong absence in my life. David was my friend and I will miss him.
