Dean Willis Evans

When I think Of Dean Evans I reflect on the great memories from the 68 basketball season at GHS. His coaching style made playing for him a joy. You worked hard because you respected the man and wanted to get better. I tried to emulate Dean through out my coaching days. He will be missed.

Kyle, our thoughts are with you and your family. I will miss seeing your dad and making him his stuffed peppers. Our family enjoyed having him over for dinner and listening to his stories. I hope he and your mom are out there swinging their golf clubs! Sincerely Julie & John Micucci

Kyle and Family,

My father passed recently. Not sure what to write. When people said "Sorry for your loss" I replied he lived an incredible life.

Dean Evans was an inspiration to me at GHS. Dean saw everything with his students. Comedy especially. Dean always looked at me with this Cheshire Cat Grin.

He saw the light in his students.

Very fitting to have this at GHS gym since "Mr.Evans" was a defining influence on so many of us there. I especially loved it that he adopted girls sports in such a big way - it was ground breaking in the late 1970's and early 80's. We often got the late game slot on Friday nights and we got great jackets and trophies. Always the joker, Mr Evans was good for a tease whenever I saw him. My personal condolences and love from all the Butterfield's to you all.

My condolences to Deans family on thier loss.
I first met Dean when I was assignned to his home room roughly around 1957 at the Shaw Junior High School. For some reason I still remember the pink and gray 1957 chevy he drove and the time he took a group of us deep sea fishing and most of us got sea sick with the exception of Jim Greenwood Would just rolled up and down the deck in his wheel chair.Dean was a fabulous coach but he didn't just reserve his attention to his teams.He treated...

Kyle and family - I am so sorry for the recent loss of your Dad. Find comfort in the many memories you have. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I loved Dean! What a great man. I am so sorry for your loss. May all your wonderful memories fill your hearts. One of GHS's best ever.

My condolences to Mr . Evans family . Coach Evans was a positive influence on many students. Dean Evans was my high school cross country coach and he always had a positive and encouraging word for each of us . His work ethic , positive outlook and never give-up approach went beyond athletics and served as valuable tools later in life . I am sorry that I have missed the opportunity to thank him ,in person , for his many kind and encouraging words .
