In Loving Memory of Evyn Allen Sanders
February 3, 2005 – March 15, 2026
Evyn Allen Sanders, who left this world far too soon at just 21 years old.
Evyn was a light in every room he walked into. He was funny, outgoing, and strong-willed, with a sense of humor that could make anyone laugh—even on their hardest days. Known as a jokester who loved driving his friends crazy, Evyn had a way of bringing joy and energy wherever he went. He was a proud big brother, a protector, and the kind of person who would give the shirt off his back to help someone in need. His heart was as big as his spirit, and his love for others was undeniable.
He found happiness in the simple and meaningful moments—spending time with family, fishing, and pursuing his passion for firefighting. He worked hard for what he wanted and took pride in every step of his journey, including graduating and completing the fire academy.
Evyn leaves behind his loving mother, Heatherdawn, and father, Josh Sanders; his younger siblings, Kyndall, Gavin, and Ella Sanders; and his two older sisters, Bree and Kacey. He also leaves behind countless extended family members and close friends who will carry his memory with them always.
Though his time here was far too short, Evyn’s impact will last a lifetime. His laughter, his love, and his unforgettable spirit will live on in all who knew him.
Forever 21. Forever our boy. Forever loved.
Memorial service will be 2:00 pm, Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Martin's Chapel Church of the Nazarene, Troup, Texas, with Reverend David Baker officiating.
Procession to follow to honor his last ride with his fellow first responders.
