Evan Brown, 19, who started his own DJ business at just 12 years old (Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, KY)
Evan Brown was just 19 when he died at his home in Louisville on March 16, 2006.
From the age of eight, Evan was fascinated with sound and lighting equipment and began collecting his own gear. By the time he was 12, he had built an entire DJ business, providing music and lighting for school dances and private parties.
His family described him as exceptionally creative, compassionate, and someone with a magnetic personality. He had a way of connecting with people of all ages and making everyone around him feel accepted.
Perhaps the most heartbreaking part of his obituary is how openly his family acknowledged his inner struggles:
"Evan was not meant for this world. Evan is free now from the tortures of his mind, and his kind and loving spirit will be watching over all of us who loved him so much."
Evan was laid to rest at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky, on March 20, 2006. His family requested memorial donations to Wellspring House, an organization supporting people experiencing mental health challenges.
