My brother my friend EVANS was a gentle, Loving, Caring, compassionate, giving soul. He never judge or asked why instead he welcomed you with open hands and a caring heart. I will miss your words of wisdom and voice of reason especialy when we would have discussions about serious life issues. You were the one person in our brotherhood who held us together. I am truly blessed to have known you and honored to have called you my brother. The brother I never had when growing up. REST NOW with the Angels. As you would always tell us when we visited your house "BAADAYE MZEE" I will always carry you in my heart and thoughts and keep that voice of reason in my head to guide me through my journey in life. I Loved you then, I love you and will love you always. RIP.
