friends and family in the Illinois River,

the Siloam Springs Flyers swim team, and a member
of the Razorback Aquatic Club.
On June 17, 2015, the Evan Thomas Foundation
was established. The Foundation will keep Evan’s
dreams and passions alive by encouraging others
and offering help inactivities he deeply enjoyed.
The Evan Thomas Foundation honors Evan with providing water safety advocacy
through education, swim related scholarships, and continuing Evan’s legacy of living life fully.
Evan’s life was a gift.
You will live a full life only when you live fully in the gift of each moment.
