It is with deep sadness that we announce the unexpected loss of our son and brother Evan Scott Winger. He graced our lives with his beautiful presence on New Year’s Day 1996, in Prince Rupert BC, and left this earth on Sunday 17 December 2023, remaining forever young in our hearts and minds.
He touched all who knew him, as a boy and a man, with charm, kindness, compassion and joy. His smile was truly dazzling and will live on forever. Among other things, he was an avid hockey player, angler and golfer; a gamer, fly-tyer and poet, and threw himself into everything he loved. He worked as a carpenter, fishing guide, first aid attendant and most recently at Point Hope Maritime after graduating from Stelly’s Secondary in 2014.
He was lucky to have travelled to Brazil, Dominican Republic, Haida Gwaii and across Canada in his short life and found solace in Nature throughout. He loved his family, close friends, a few special women and his dog Aspen deeply. He was well loved in return as it was such an easy and natural thing to do.
We will be holding a Celebration of Life, open house style, in the Sequoia Centre, at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive in Victoria, BC, and we welcome any and all family and friends who knew him to come commemorate Ev with us on Saturday, 30 December, 2023, 2:00–5:00 pm with a live stream available.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to https://everloved.com/life-of/evan-winger/ where a memorial golf tournament and commemorative bench are being planned by his brothers Ryan and Logan, dad Todd and mom Christine.
He leaves an unspeakably large void in our lives and the lives of our extended family. We are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support from friends and family everywhere.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Boim’s Family Ahhh Dear Evan..
The moments we spent together were great…
We used to say “Evannnnnnn” and you were always smiling and laughing at us. It even became a joke in our family the way we used to call you, and you loved it.
May you be together with the stars and immensity of the cosmos..
No demands..no criticism..Sometimes life can be very difficult indeed, but everything is ok…
Somewhere in time and space we will meet again.
In the meantime, we will keep in our heart and happy moments that you spent with us..With all our Brazilian love,
Bob, Claudia, Luna and Thiago

Gaia Boim Ev,
You were a huge part of my life. I just have to be thankful for our years together. You taught me a lot of things over these years. The one thing that I will always remember from you, is not to be “too harsh on yourself, and do what makes you happy”. You lived life deeply and chased your dreams while always having a huge contagious smile on your face.
I will only have good memories of you and of us.
I’m just so glad that we were able to share more memories and laughs a few weeks ago. You said beautiful things as always. You were always so good with words, a true poet.
You were special. A gift. An angel.
You will always be my first and only love.
You knew that.Aspen and I will miss you a lot.
I hope you are resting in peace, and receiving all the hugs and love from us.
We will meet again
With all my love,
Gaia Boim

Andrew Scurrah Ev,
Your spirit was something incredible to be a part of. It just seems like yesterday when I was sitting beside you on our team bench. You loved our game just as much as I did.
You’ll be so incredibly missed my friend and I will so miss that smile. It’s still numb knowing you are gone forever now. I just feels so unreal. I’m still processing that.
Rest well my friend. We’ll see each other somewhere else I’m sure.
To my beloved friends, I mourn from a distance that has been between us for far too long. Our love finds its way to you. Being there for this young mans birth and start of his journey in the world were some of the best times in my life. I cannot imagine what you are feeling but I hope our thoughts and prayers have reached you, and for your Evan may you rest and be at peace, you will be truly missed from near and afar. Sending love to Todd, Christine, Ryan and Logan
