commemorates the life of Nikolas Coltan Evans, who died April 5,
2009, at the age of 21; and

in Arlington; he grew up in Euless and was a graduate of Trinity
High School, where he was a member of the cross country team;
and
WHEREAS, An enthusiastic admirer of film and cinema,
Nikolas moved to Austin in 2006 to attend film school; he was
passionate about every facet of filmmaking, and his efforts to
learn the art and craft of this profession reflect his creative
spirit and his desire to communicate with others in a meaningful
way; and
WHEREAS, Nikolas was a warm and loving young man, and even
though he is no longer among us, he continues to live through the

generosity be reflected by the gift of life he gave to others
through organ donation; and
