He is also survived by their seven children, Edith, wife of Mahlon Peachey, Philip, husband of Margaret Beachy, Elizabeth, Andrew, Kenneth, Jonathan, and James, all of Oakland; two grandchildren, Abraham and Jemima; six siblings, Abbie Kauffman and her husband Joe of Bedford, Pennsylvania, Raymond Schrock and his wife Barbara of Greenville, Tennessee, Emma Schrock of Oakland, Ezra Schrock and his wife Ruth of Oakland, Albert Schrock and his wife Lois of Barton, Maryland, and Edward Schrock of Oakland; his father-in-law, Peter Beachy of Oakland; and many nieces and nephews.

Evan’s family will always remember his steadfast faith, his love for sacred song, and the quiet strength he showed through his final illness.
