Evie PHELPS Obituary
Evie Phelps, 80 of Palm Coast, formerly of Dayton, Ohio, passed away peacefully on March 12, 2021.
Known for his wise words, his one-liners, and his gentle spirit, Evie had a knack for turning strangers into friends. He was a lifelong lover of jazz who played both alto and tenor
saxophone. His garden was
always a point of pride, and his
passion for the outdoors inspired his woodworking craft later in life. Evie retired from the City of Dayton, Ohio, as a
correction officer in 1996 and moved to Palm Coast, Florida, with his family in 2004.
He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Linda; his sons, Demone and Kevin; his daughter, Ashley; his three grandchildren; his great-granddaughter; his sisters, Juanita and Irma; his brother and sisters-in-law; and his many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parent; his grandson, Javon; his two brothers; and four of his sisters.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. The Phelps family has entrusted arrangements to Clymer Funeral Home and Cremations. Online condolences can be made at

I just found out of your passing today my good brother while visiting Chief Willie Arnold at his home. You and Arnold were my inspiration to continue in the criminal justice field. You both guided me on my journey in the field. I always asked about you or was kept informed by Walter Watts. You were a true New Yorker. My deepest condolences to Linda Phelps and the entire Phelps family. I was a young New Yorker fresh out of college entering the field and you taught me so much Evie. You were smooth in your ways of interacting with all you came in contact with and I will never forget you and how you help my development and career in Dayton Ohio. Rest my brother it been a long journey.
