Nothing but beautiful memories when I think of Mr. James Evans. Always a hard worker, excellent husband to Dixie and father to Jimmy,Tracy and Shannon. Mr.Evans was a wonderful friend to all, always lending a helping hand. Thank you for your shining example. May you rest in eternal peace in the presence of our Lord. You have earned your angel wings.
I will always remember my Uncle James smile, I never saw him without a smile. As he would say, “you all go down the road with peace now” May he rest in peace. My heartfelt condolences to all of the Evans Family.
I first met James 22yrs ago when I married Lovis and moved to Dell City. I remeber the first time I walked into the kitchen at James and Dixies home and he was sitting there at the table eating a coconut covered cream filled zinger and a glass of milk. And he said hi would you like one. There wasnt very many times I would go over there that he missed coming into the kitchen and talking for a spell. When I would go away for a trip he would tell me he and Dixie missed me, when I got back. James was a very special man, a great father and husband and a good friend to all. He was always out helping anyone who had a problem with plunbing or eletrical or whatever they needed. He stayed so strong fighting this battle against his cancer, it couldnt keep him down for long. He fought a good fight.I will forever cherish our friendship we shared. See you at the pearly gates James.
