He is also survived by his stepmother, Lee Evans of Piney River; two brothers, Phillip Evans and Bradley Wright; two nephews, P.J., and Robbie Evans; a niece, Angel Wright; his mother and father-in-law, Gene and Carol Householder of Winchester; a sister-in-law , Joyce Householder of Winchester; and a step-brother David Neighbors.
