In Loving Memory of Aiden Evers

On July 25, 2026, a collision between two boats near the Bird Island boat ramp resulted in the loss of 16 year old Flour Bluff Hornet, Aiden Evers. Aiden came to live in Corpus Christi in the 7th grade, as he is originally from Lebanon, Missouri, and has attended Flour Bluff since his freshman year. Aiden is survived by his parents, Ben and Miranda Evers, his four sisters, Lindsay, Gracie, Sierra, and Maddison, and his beloved seven, soon to be nine, nieces and nephews, and his countless friends. Aiden is remembered by his ability to make others laugh, his kind heart, and his endless love of turtles. 

Sierra Evers, one of Aiden’s older sisters, shared numerous memories of her little brother. “Me and him both, would get in trouble with my parents because we would be up, it would be the crack of dawn: 3am, 4am, and we would be playing video games together. I would get in trouble, like as a grown adult but I was keeping him up on a school night and it would be 3 in the morning and we’d be gaming together. We just did so much together,” Sierra said  

Within his family, Aiden was not the typical teenage boy. He obviously went out with friends, and enjoyed his teenage years, but he also made time for family.

“He was really, really close with our family. That’s something that I actually really admired about him, because as a 16 year old boy, you’re gone all the time, you don’t want to talk to your family, and you don’t want to spend time with your family,” Sierra said. 

Aiden’s mother, Miranda Evers, is a math teacher at Flour Bluff High School and has seen in person that the whole community of Flour Bluff has been mourning her son. 

“It’s so amazing how they’ve all come together and have helped, whether it’s brought us dinner, a meal, you know, or helped with funeral expenses with the GoFundMe,” Mrs. Evers said. 

Aiden loves turtles; he has an extensive collection of beloved memorabilia. Three of his older sisters, and one of their husbands, got sea turtle tattoos in honor of Aiden. In fact, as if the universe wanted him to be with the turtles he so deeply loved, a sea turtle release was happening as he passed. 

“The morning that he passed…there was a sea turtle release. So there were people on the beach. … And, you know, turtle release still goes on. They were still able to do it that day. And we thought that was kind of neat, you know,” Mrs. Evers said. 

In all regards, Aiden was down to earth, full of love, and one of the kindest young men Flour Bluff has ever seen.
