Dwight Evans

Sorry to be late in my condolences and memories, but I just found out now through another UNC former resident online regarding Dwight's passing. Dwight was my first attending psychiatrist on UNC's inpatient unit when I was a resident there between 1980-84. And I was under his supervision again for my second inpatient rotation at UNC. He was a very smart individual who also was supportive and encouraging. Even after I left my residency, he never forgot to recognize me with publicly or...

During our youth, from 13 to early 20s, Dwight and I were close friends, especially during the summers in Mt. Gretna. Along with others in our group, we would ride our bicycles everywhere, spend long summer days at the Gretna lake, and hangout at the stand. We danced and had our first kisses with shy girls, and enjoyed being in nature, whether hiking to Governor Dick, crossing Soldier's Field on a night's adventure, or just sitting under the trees and laughing. As we got older, we drove...

I met Dwight in '76 when we started our psychiatric residency training together. He was my best friend throughout that time '76-79 and my wife and I shared many happy moments with Dwight and Jan. Dwight was so obviously intelligent, talented, caring and giving. I learned a lot watching Dwight about humility, integrity and how he treated people. Dwight came to me at a very difficult time and brought me out of a very dark place. Although we later travelled different paths, I have never...

Dear Evans Family - Jan, Liz, Meredith, Ben, Chris, Liz noted that Dwight taught her many lessons. As a benevolent leader, he did the same for many of us and he opened numerous doors. He had a longstanding track record of valuing diversity and inclusion; I felt seen and heard. He was a loving, kind, and giving person to his family and others. He always focused on the education of trainees at every level. Also, he helped me balance time with family because he was my model for bringing...

How misleading a cover can be. Unassuming but never bland, direction without exclusion, open without bragging or disclosing achievements. Dwight´s selflessness was remarkable in tasks unknown to most. No flaunting, just an ordinary person who was so much more than ordinary. Comfortable around all. Made the workings of committees we were on something I looked forward to. Cannt say that about most committee commitments. Examples of his persona are many. For years I received flowers and an...

I also am proud to say Dwight was my friend at Mt Gretna. He was special then and reflecting on his life it is clear that he remained truly special for his entire life. We were lucky to have shared in wonderful summer experiences with special people during a special time. Rest knowing that you will be missed

I am proud to share Dwight was my friend 50 plus years ago in Mt Gretna. His wit and focus often engaged us all . Rest In Peace and know your beloved Gretna will always be a home for you.
