Evyn Andrew Yocham, 21, was born on June 29, 2004, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Erin Rae Steele and Ercel-Ace Lyndell Yocham. He passed away on December 26, 2025, at his home in Fay, Oklahoma.

Evyn was raised by Erin and Hoyt Steele and Ace and Myria Yocham in Thomas, Oklahoma. He attended school in Thomas and later lived in Fay. As a young boy, Evyn always wanted to be a truck driver. When he got his CDL, he couldn't have been more proud of his accomplishment. Evyn loved driving trucks but also enjoyed working on engines. He and his dad, Ace, had been working side by side and were excitedly making plans for their future business.

Evyn was very proud of his Native American heritage and had a great appreciation for the culture. He respected his elders and had many mentors that helped guide him through his life - Lane Burchett, Lee Sears and his Uncle Jack Edwards are among these cherished relationships. Sandy Baldwin who took Evyn under her wing, and Lagailda Barnes are two other treasured friends who had a positive influence on his life.

Siblings and friends were the people Evyn lived for. He cherished them and he loved big. But his love didn't stop there, he would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. Evyn was a light and loved life, he was always happy, smiling and was full of jokes.

Evyn's favorite quote was "a closed mouth don't get fed". He was a fighter and hard worker. He was truly a once in a lifetime person.

Evyn was preceded in death by his sister, Eleeyah Yocham; grandfathers, Robert Yocham and Jarrett Sweezy; grandmothers, Sandra Steele and Glenda Ray; great-grandmother, Carol Rice; and Uncles, Scott and Andy Yocham.
