to the day=on the day?

"Even to the day of his death the recollection was vivid." Does this mean that the recollection was vivid even on the day he passed away or up to that day? I'm confused by the 'even'. What do you think?

" From the time it happened until he died, the memory was vivid. "Even" is for emphasis. The writer is surprised that this would happen.
