The peculiarities came on so gradually and seemingly without connection that Evans either didn’t notice or disregarded them.
Then, in 2017, a tremor that he couldn’t ignore appeared in his right thumb. He decided to see a neurologist. The doctor diagnosed Evans with young onset Parkinson’s disease. Evans was 47 and a business owner, with two boys and a wife. He was devastated beyond description – then.
