A tragic incident occurred in Anderson, South Carolina, where a 15-year-old high school football player named Evan Kinley lost his life during a severe storm. The unfortunate incident took place as Evan was checking on his grandparents and getting out of his car in their driveway on Arnold Drive near Kings Road. While walking towards the garage, a large tree was uprooted by the storm and tragically fell on Evan, causing fatal injuries.
Despite the efforts of the first responders to free Evan by cutting away the tree, it was determined that he had already passed away. The Anderson County Coroner’s Office ruled the death as accidental, attributing it to the severe weather conditions. This heartbreaking news has deeply affected the student body at T.L. Hanna High School, where Evan was a sophomore and a member of the football team.
Kyle Newton, the Communications representative for Anderson District 5, expressed the unimaginable grief that the team and Evan’s family are going through. The loss of a student is always difficult for a school and its community, and the district hopes to provide support to help students and staff process this tragedy. Anderson School District 5 superintendent Brenda Kelly also released a statement offering condolences to Evan’s family and announcing additional support staff at TL Hanna to assist during this difficult time.
Aside from his involvement in football, Evan had a passion for the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and was even a junior volunteer firefighter for the Broadway Fire Department. His obituary reflects his love for these activities. The Broadway Fire Department expressed their condolences on Facebook, acknowledging Evan as a remarkable individual and expressing their sadness at his untimely passing.
As the community mourns the loss of Evan, it is important to keep his family in our thoughts and prayers. The coming days will undoubtedly be challenging for them, and the support of the community will be essential. Evan’s absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him. May he rest in peace.
