Evan Kenneth Assadi passed away unexpectedly on July 17, 2020 at the age of 15.
Evan was born on March 27, 2005 to Bahman Assadi and Katherine Rice at the Montfort hospital in Ottawa on a sunny, Easter Sunday morning. He attended Manor Park Public School and Immaculata High School. Evan was passionate about music, his friends, and loved spending time with his older brother, Deian, at the family's lakeside cottage.
Evan was an incredibly caring person who was always willing to help someone in need whether they be family, friends, or strangers. He had an infectious smile and a larger-than-life personality that filled any room. He had an amazing ability to make people laugh and the gift of making new friends wherever he went with his quick wit, charm and incredible warmth. His energy was endless, and his devotion to his family and friends, profound. He was a talented hip hop artist who had just started making a name for himself on the Ottawa scene.
Evan's memory will be forever cherished by his family in British Columbia: grandparents Vernon and Elaine Rice, his auntie Leah, uncle Glenn, cousins Colin and Emily (Allen family) from Kelowna; his uncle Ken Rice and uncle Behrouz Assadi and cousins Bijan and Olivia, along with his cousin Mozhgan Shakouri, husband Reza Varesteh, and children Rayan and Baran, from Vancouver, BC. His many cousins, aunts and uncles in Iran will also miss him dearly.
There is no service planned for Evan at this time. In lieu of flowers, the Assadi-Rice family encourages anyone who wishes to honour Evan's memory to do so by making a donation in Evan's name to the Ottawa Food Bank or to their favourite charity.

We were so sad to hear this news. Evan had such energy and his smile truly was infectious. He was kind and encouraging in the hockey dressing room and certainly played with passion. We are thinking of your family and all of Evan's friends. He will be missed.
Dear Bahman, Katherine, and family,

I cannot even begin to imagine the grief you, your family and friends are feeling.
Even though it has been over a year since we last met, there is a special place for Evan, and you in my heart. I feel very privileged to have had the chance to meet him and see how special of a person he was .
I pray that you will find comfort in knowing that he will not be forgotten. My deepest and most sincere condolences to you Bahaman, Katherine, Deian, and the entire family.
