Thank you to my dear friend, Kerstin for honoring Evan with sponsorship of his memorial

PANA — Football coach Trevor Higgins said his family is turning to faith and support from community after the death of his 4-year-old son, Evan, in a tragic accident.

Evan fell into a pool on Friday and, despite rescue efforts, died on Sunday after doctors found no brain activity, Higgins said in several Facebook posts over the weekend. The family planned to donate his organs.

"The only thing getting us through this is the love and support of our family members and the communities that we grew up in or work for!" Higgins wrote. "Evan was the best kid you could ask for. He was sweet, kind, full of energy and enthusiasm and never knew a stranger."

MOWEAQUA — Evan M. Higgins, 4, of Moweaqua, passed away July 28, 2019 in St. John's Hospital, Springfield, IL.

Funeral services will be 10:00 a.m. Saturday, August 3, 2019 at First Christian Church of Moweaqua. Visitation will be from 4:00 – 8:00 p.m. Friday, August 2, 2019, also at the church. Burial will be in Oddfellows Cemetery, Moweaqua. Memorials may be made to Evan Higgins Memorial Fund or Gift of Hope.

Evan was born February 16, 2015 in Decatur, IL, the son of Trevor and Jeri Ann Higgins and grandson of Danny and Tina and the late Stacey Higgins, Jo Ann and Chris Reilly, and Jerry and Anita Clark. He was the best kid you could ask for. Evan was sweet, kind, full of energy and had an enthusiasm for sports. He never knew a stranger. Evan had a strong love for Jesus. He was a member of First Christian Church of Moweaqua and Passion Community Church of Mt. Zion.

As an organ donor, the Higgins family would like to acknowledge that Evan gave the most precious gift anyone could give; the gift of life.
