TOBIAS L. EVANS

Tobias Levi “T-Bo” Evans entered a peaceful eternal rest surrounded by family and friends on May 23, 2023. Tobias was born March 18, 1997 in Canton, Ohio aka “Cuba” Canton, Ohio (lol) to Angela and Robert Evans. He was the fourth of ten siblings and enjoyed being a part of a large immediate and extended family. Even as a baby he had the biggest personality. He was known to the family as the “sour patch kid”, lol and lovingly to his big sister Corrine as “her little red tomato”.

As a child he showed a natural talent for football and excelled as a standout player for Jackson and Massillon High Schools. He dominated in track & field while playing for AAU. Although he did not complete a traditional path to graduation, he received his General Education Diploma in 2018.

2018 continued to be a great year for Tobias. He achieved his proudest moment by becoming a father of a beautiful daughter, Gabriella Nicole Evans. He was known to his gang of nieces and nephews as “Uncle Bo”. “Uncle Bo” never disappointed, always willing to play and bounce around like the big kid he was known for being. His childlike spirit always shined through no matter the room he entered. To family and friends, he was the greatest gift of all and in his transition, he became a gift to the world. Tobias furthered his legacy by making the choice to donate his organs to help recipients in need. His memory will forever be remembered by the lives he saved.
