HERMON - Evan J. McCoy, 18, died unexpectedly on January 29, 2019. He was born March 2, 2000, in Bangor, the son of James and Annette (Fahey) McCoy.
Evan was the salutatorian of the Hermon High School, Class of 2018, where he participated in Band playing trumpet and flute and was self-taught in several other instruments. He was very passionate about his music. In his Junior year, he performed the lead role in the high school's production of 'Bye Bye Birdie'. He was very proud of these accomplishments. He used the college credits that he earned during high school to enter as a second-year student at the University of Maine with duel majors in Computer and Electrical Engineering. "His interests and abilities, including technical expertise that was at the graduate student level, led him to be involved in multiple UMaine research initiatives."
Evan excelled at everything he pursued, particularly computer programming. He began learning about software development at the age of 10 by developing game plugins and small hobby projects. Since then he has worked as a lead programmer/mentor on the Brewer High School FIRST Robotics Team (Orange Chaos) and held multiple software development positions at UMaine.
