John V. Evans

"The Guv was the best boss I ever worked for. He genuinely cared about his bank customers, his employees and anyone he met. I will miss interacting with him greatly, as I was always enriched by doing so. His legacy continues on in his family." Jim Renell, retired D.L.Evans banker

Dear Lola and family,
I was on my way to Iowa when I got the word that the Gov had passed away. I so wanted to be at the service. It was an honor to work for him. I enjoyed traveling with him and Lola and shared some funny stories. Family was so important to him. He took time to share a piece of birthday cake with my daughter. He was a man of integrity and cared for the commom man.

To Lola. I can't believe 'Jack' is gone. What a sad time this is for you. Jack was such a wonderful guy and I am sure he was the best life's companion possible. It is difficult to imagine just how much he will be missed from now on by you and your family. We wish you the best there is. John, as we have now learned is his real name, was one year behind me in the Malad school system. One house between our homes on Main Street. I remember walking the four long blocks to school with him...

Dear Evans family- I knew John V, Dave, Johnny and Martha when we all were in college. i was married to Randy John from Malad and spent many a summer and lots of fun times in Boise with all of them. I thought John V was the most awesome governor ever-we all campaigned for him and loved all the great times at the election returns.

Wanted to say hey to all of you for adding such memories to my life.

Johnny and Karen, I am so sorry for your loss. What a great legacy he has left.

A good man whose positive contributions have not been forgotten.

to Lola and the family, my sympathy in the loss of Gov. Evans. I so enjoyed working on his political campaign in SE Idaho, even if it didn't turn out as we had hoped. I learned to appreciate his friendliness and integrity and wish we had more political stars like him.

All my love and deepest sympathy to all of you in the "Guv's" family. He was a Prince of a man who among other things made Idaho a better place to live.
