Some of his scenes in MSK still give me chills.

My prayers and condolences are with his family at this difficult time.

Evan, I know Heaven will welcome you with open arms, she added.

Your time on this earth may have been, devastatingly, short.

Your humor, exuberance, kindness and bright light will linger forever.
