From Steven Abraham
It is with a very heavy heart that I am letting you all know that Evan has passed away peacefully this afternoon.
Evans family are overwhelmed by the support they have been shown over the last 48 hours.
They explained that Evan's injury was a freak accident and it was playing the game that he loved so much.
They have asked for a decree of privacy at this very difficult time which I am sure everyone will appreciate.
Evan you were a fantastic lad so tragically taken from us. You certainly leave a stamp on my heart young man.
Fly high buddy.
RIP Evan Hawksworth.
