"We just wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and Prayers. A friend of ours from California, Lisa Grodzicki, mother of the late Jantz Grodzicki who was passed away at the Winter Olympics at Gatorback when he crashed during a practice in Nov of 2012 he was 15 years old. She told me to send her condolences and love. She said if you feel like you need to talk to someone that truly understands she is there for you as she and her family have been dealing with his loss for over a year now. We love you all and will honor your sweet Evan forever. I attended the service as so many other FTR members did and those that couldn't where there in spirit and send their Heart felt love to you all. If you would like to talk to Lisa just let me know. I shared this with her so she will probably write to you also. Anything we can do to help please don't hesitate."

"To my dearest little buddy Evan, We will always cherish the memories of the moments we shared with you! You started your family and brought our families together. From the moment we held you as a baby we knew you were very special, we had no idea what your mom & dad were in for, but there was never a dull moment when you were part of it. We will always Love you, as you are amongst the angels now. You will be missed so much that it will hurt, but when we get sad we will remember all the Joy and Love you brought to us and those special moments & memories! All of our Love, Aunty & Dude"

"I'm unable to adequately articulate the sadness and heartache that this tragedy brings. Evan had a smile that could melt away any sour mood and reminded me of the joy and excitement of childhood. I'm devastated that he was taken from us so prematurely. I take comfort in knowing that we will see him again in the hereafter. Perhaps we will once again play a frenetic game of "freeze tag." Instead of playing on SW 10th Street, maybe we will play on streets of gold. Evan, we love you and will continue to miss you. "
