Kurtis William Evans
April 21, 2001 - October 3, 2024

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Kurtis Evans on October 3rd, 2024, at the age of 23. Kurtis left us peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous battle with his illness.

Kurtis was known for his radiant smile and his kind, compassionate soul. He had an extraordinary gift for forming deep connections with people from all walks of life, remaining steadfastly dedicated to his friends and loved ones. A natural athlete, he thrived in various sports and had a deep passion for the outdoors, cherishing moments spent with family and friends, many of whom became like family themselves.

He is lovingly remembered by his parents, Brad and Holly Evans (Malloy), and his brother, Jackson (Hailey Parsons). He was a treasured grandson to Dean and Carolyn Evans, and Donald (deceased) and Carol Malloy. He is also mourned by his uncles and aunts, Tim and Tracy Evans, Deanna Evans and Paul Wilms, Poppi Malloy and Roger Vousden, and Sean Malloy, as well as his cousins, Connor (Katie), Avery, Marigold, Sam, Martina, and Wendel.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the medical professionals who cared for Kurtis throughout his journey, as well as the friends and family whose support was invaluable during this time. A special thanks goes to his girlfriend, Kenzie Cunningham, for her unwavering love and support.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at Low and Low Limited, 23 Main Street South, Uxbridge from 5:00pm-8:00pm. A Service to Celebrate Kurtis’ life will be held on Thursday, October 10, 2024 at 12:00pm, with visitation one hour prior at 11:00am at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, 12251 Regional Road #1, Leaskdale.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the Ewings Cancer Foundation of Canada as a tribute to Kurtis's memory. We also plan to honour Kurtis, by realizing his vision to create Falling Feathers, an organization dedicated to introducing nature and the outdoors to those with limited opportunity due to illness.

EVANS, Ann Elizabeth (nee White) Evans -
1932-2024

Passed away unexpectedly from complications of stroke at Lakeridge Hospital, Oshawa on August 7, 2024, having just celebrated her 92nd birthday.

Beloved sister (Mary Davie/Ray), aunt (Melissa Davie/Steve Cyrille; Pam Davie), great aunt (Tash and Sam Cyrille), honorary grandmother (Patrick/Elizabeth and Amanda Fry) and loyal friend.

Ann is described as a special lady by all, cherished for her generous and lively spirit and good humour.

She was lucky to enjoy good health and embraced life fully, living independently, driving, and visiting with friends and family up until her final birthday in June.

Born in England, she moved with her mother, Gladys and sister to Dundee Scotland when her father, John, was serving in the navy in WWII, where they remained. After college, she Married her high school sweetheart, Bob Tait, and started her teaching career, working with children from Dundee’s low-income tenements.

Ann enjoyed travel and moved countries over the years. She and Bob moved to Canada in 1959 where they were the center of lively gatherings at their home in Pickering. Ann loved horse riding and also became a small aircraft pilot. Her first marriage ended, and she remarried (John Evans) and returned to England, later moving to Portugal. They made a final
move back to Canada in 1982 where she lived the rest of her life on Lake Scugog and in Oshawa.

Ann chose a career change mid life and took up full time sales, becoming one of the top Avon and Weekenders salespeople in Canada, making many lifelong friends along the way.

Above all, Ann adored her dogs, Dandy and Patch (both deceased), the latter whom she rescued from the streets in Portugal.

Ann returned to Scotland and Wales almost annually, driving her stepmother Kathy on photography trips through the Scottish Highlands and visiting friends and cousins Elaine and Khan and children in Wales. She later joined a Scottish dance group in Little Britain, Ontario and loved travelling with them to Scotland and also several trips away with friends.
She delighted in her annual week away with close friends in Collingwood.

Ann will be remembered for living life to its fullest, for her sense of fun and how to age with spirit and enthusiasm. She was a great and loyal friend, and many have expressed the large gap she leaves in their lives. She never forgot birthdays and her Christmas card list was long.

She will be so missed by her family in Canada and the UK and many friends.

There will be a private internment, and a celebration of life will be held in early fall (details will be shared on this page once date and location confirmed).
