With heavy hearts and deep love, we share the passing of Evan Mikael Damewood, 19, of Lincoln, Nebraska, on March 24, 2026.
Evan was born on April 8, 2006, in Lincoln to Benjamin M. Damewood and Crystal L. Mihm. From the very beginning, Evan brought light into the lives of those around him—a light that showed up in his warm smile, his big heart, and his unmistakable sense of humor.
Evan had a way of making people feel welcome and understood. Whether he was joking around, encouraging his teammates, or simply being present, he left a lasting impression. He had a strong team spirit and a natural ability to connect with others.
He was a proud graduate of Boys Town High School and carried his work ethic into his roles with Biggerstaff Plumbing and ATD Event Services. Evan took pride in showing up, working hard, and being part of something bigger than himself.
Outside of work, Evan found joy and creativity in anime and art. He had a unique way of seeing the world, often expressed through his interests and imagination. Those who knew him will remember his passion, his creativity, and the way he could brighten even an ordinary day.
Evan is deeply loved and will be forever missed by his parents, Ben and Crystal; his great grandmother Kay Fye, grandparents, Ron and Teresa Mihm, Barb Damewood, and LuAnn Damewood; his uncle Randy (Annette) Damewood; his aunts Trina (Spencer) Davis, Stephanie (Karen) Mihm, and Colette (Doug) Toline. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Dan Damewood.
Evan’s memory will live on in the laughter he shared, the kindness he showed, and the love he gave so freely.
