Sad news: Evan Meder passes away
Log readers may already have heard the very sad news that Evan Meder, son of Associate Prof. Randy Meder, passed away last week at age 8. As many will recall, Meder’s wife, Margaret, wrote the award-winning book Uncommon Beauty: Crisis Parenting from Day One about raising Evan, who was born with Apert Syndrome, a rare craniofacial disorder that affected most of the bones in his body. A memorial service for Evan was held Saturday (May 24) in Madison, and the Meders are planning another service in Green Bay at a later date, according to an obituary published in Friday’s (May 24) Green Bay Press-Gazette. We’ve linked to that obituary, and another from the funeral home. Our thoughts are with the Meders and the countless people whose lives Evan touched.
