Skylar Allen Evans, 23, of Plymouth, passed away on Thursday, April 14, 2016, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Skylar was born the son of Michael and LuAnn (Troup) Evans on March 11, 1993, in Indianapolis. He played football from the time he was eight years old. Skylar was a 2011 graduate of Plymouth High School where he enjoyed playing on the Plymouth Rockie football team.
