- Evan Tanner was born on February 11, 1971 in Amarillo, Texas, USA. He died in September 2008 in Palo Verde Mountains, California, USA.
- Left his Oceanside, California home on 3 September 2008 to trek into the desert to "cleanse" himself, asking friends to contact authorities if they didn't hear from him. His body was found by a Marine Corps helicopter on 8 September two miles from where he had set up camp.
- Two-time Texas state high school wrestling champion.
- Attended Caprock High School in Amarillo, TX, Class of 1989.
- And to think, there are still places in the world where man has not been, where he has left no footprints, where the mysteries stand secure, untouched by human eyes. I want to go to these places, the quiet, timeless, ageless places, and sit, letting silence and solitude be my teachers.
