Evan Matthew Sharp January 12, 1993 to September 11, 2015


Evan Matthew Sharp, 22, of Blue Hill, Nebraska, died at home Friday, September 11, 2015, with family by his side . Services were held  10 a.m. Tuesday September 15, 2015 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Blue Hill with the Rev. Ronald Kuehner Officiating. Burial was at Blue Hill Cemetery. .

Evan Matthew Sharp was born January 12, 1993 in Hastings, Nebraska to Jay Sharp and Vicki Kimminau Sharp. He was quickly transferred to Omaha for medical reasons.   Evan was born with numerous challenges.  His medical providers did not expect him to live long and so his parents took him home and loved him fiercely knowing their time with him was limited. He left the hospital with numerous medical challenges.  He went from one medical crisis to another. But because of the tremendous love his family provided Evan lived for 22 years.  He lived much longer than his doctors expected him to live. He lived much longer than any other person afflicted with the same challenges had lived.
 Evan had two brothers and a sister, younger than him who watched over him and loved him just as his parents did. 


Evan attended school, he was awarded a certificate with the graduating class of Blue Hill, in 2014.

Evan loved animals and they loved him.  Numerous pictures show him with various kittens and puppies..
 He had an infectious laugh or giggle and smiled often.  It was easy to see when he was pleased.  He had a beautiful smile.  His 22 years here on earth was spent teaching lessons on love, on patience, tolerance, compassion and showing us what true strength is.  His siblings were his best students.  God sent down to earth  a very special Spirit  to teach us many things.  Evan touched many people in many ways. He was a true blessing.  Memories of Evan brings joy to many hearts.

Friday September 11, 2015 Evan Sharp's time here ended and with his family all there to wish him goodbye he went home to his Father in Heaven leaving behind those who loved him.
With great love comes great pain.

Left behind to cherish his memory are his father Jay Sharp, His mother and step-father Vicki and Andy Alber, his siblings, Garrett, Chyanna and Ethan Sharp,  Step brother Tyler Schmidt, Step sister, Brianna Harvey.  Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and friends.

HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD
A meeting was held quite far from Earth!
It's time again for another birth.
Said the angels to the LORD above,
This Special Child will need much love.

His progress may be very slow,
Accomplishments he may not show.
And he'll require extra care
From the folks he meets down there.

He may not run or laugh or play,
His thoughts may seem quite far away,
In many ways he won't adapt,
And he'll be known as handicapped.

So let's be careful where he's sent,
We want his life to be content.
 Please LORD find the parents who
Will do a special job for you

They will not realize right away
The leading roll they're asked to play,
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love.

And soon they'll know the privilege given
In caring for their gift from Heaven.
Their precious child, so meek and mild.
is   HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD
