James Evan Gober, age 27, of Cedartown, GA, passed away on Saturday, November 22, 2025.

Evan was born in Fairfax, VA, on September 17, 1998, son of Mrs. Tammie Swegar Braden and Mr. Kevin Gober. He was preceded in death by a grandfather, Biddy Hill Braden. Evan was a 2017 graduate of Darlington School. He was an avid outdoorsman, and loved hunting and fishing.
