William L. Evans got a job at Craige's Photique photo store while still in high school, but he dazzled owner Rick Craige with his skills _ to the point where Craige viewed the young photographer as an equal and, in some aspects, superior. "He had one of the best eyes of any photographer I have ever seen," Craige said. "With the natural talent he had, he really took to photography and was great at it." Evans, 22, of Hallstead, Pa., was killed Sept. 19 by a roadside bomb in Ramadi. He was stationed at Williamsport. Evans was quiet when he first joined the National Guard in 2003 _ but not for long. "Once you got to know him, you couldn't help but fall in love with him," Sgt. 1st Class James Ditchey said. "He was a great young man. This is a huge tragedy for all of us." Evans was a popular high school student, actively involved in band, choir and track before graduating in 2002. "He was so full of life, he had such an infectious personality," said his friend Andrew Park. "He was always busy and on the move, great to be around." Evans is survived by his parents, Bill and Judy.

I'm sending my condolences to the family of Williams Evans, sorry for your loss. Micah 4:3,4

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Evans Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. ...

In memory & honor of Billy Evans.

Billy,
I think of you every time I pass the house where you grew up. I remember you and Ashley sitting together on the deck at our house. (Even though you weren't supposed to ride your bike all the way to our house.) Of course that was long before you were old enough to drive. You will remain in my memories. I know you are watching over all of your family and friends... Will especially be remembering you this Memorial Day

Remembering Spc.William L Evans. He was a true Hero and will always be in the heart of our nation.
I know he is angle up there in heaven with my son Staff Sgt Stephen R Maddies. May they rest in peace and watch over each and everyone of us. They are the reason we can sleep at night.
Proud Mother of Stephen R Maddies
