Evan Gaulhiac

Evan Gaulhiac was a young man from the San Gabriel Valley whose life was cut far too short. Public records and local reporting identify Evan as a 19‑year‑old Hispanic/Latino resident tied to the communities east of downtown Los Angeles. He is described in contemporaneous coverage as an Alhambra resident who was part of the ordinary, everyday fabric of southeast Los Angeles County — family, neighborhood, and the hopes that come with being 19.

While few personal details about Evan’s daily life are publicly available, the records that do exist confirm that he died on January 8, 2019. That date and his age are part of the public record and were reported by established local outlets. Those who loved Evan sought to honor him after his death; a community fundraiser organized shortly afterward reflects family and friends trying to arrange a private farewell and to shoulder the burdens that follow a sudden loss.

Because the publicly available information about Evan’s life beyond his age, residence, and the circumstances of his death is limited, what remains clear and important is this: he was a real person whose life mattered to people who cared for him. Evan’s passing left a gap in a mother’s life and in his local community. This remembrance honors him by acknowledging his presence among family and neighbors and by recognizing the human cost of a life that ended far too early. If you knew Evan or have memories of him, your recollections — small details of who he was to others — help preserve his story beyond what appears in public records.
