Kevin "Kevy" Andrew Evans was born May 25, 1956 to Joseph Francis and Helen Marie (McCall) Evans. Kevin was a twin and was 6th in a family of what would become 11 children for Joe and Helen.
Kevin graduated from Central High School in St. Joseph in 1974 and later from Missouri Western State College with a major in Political Science and a minor in English.
Kevin worked for several years for A.J. August Clothing Company and was known for dressing well. It was while he was with A.J. August that he met and married Melissa Dee Byers of Wichita, Kansas and they had one daughter, Sarah Elizabeth. Sarah was the light of Kevin's life and many summer vacations were spent seeing the USA with Sarah. One of Kevin's hobbies was photography and he shared his photos online with thousands.
Kevin later worked for Commercial Concepts in Kansas City as an office designer. Kevin had only recently retired and was planning on traveling extensively with Sarah.
Kevin was preceded in death by his grandparents Albert and Berenice (Dreesmann) McCall and John and Mary (Kovac), Infant sister Marcy Evans and his parents.

Condolences to all of Kevin's friends and family. I really enjoyed seeing Kevin at our 45th high school class reunion in 2019. For the last 5 years or so, I have corresponded with him on the Messages app, sharing his love of music and photography. I live in Colorado, a scenic masterpiece that Kevin loved.

My heart goes out to Kevy's family, especially his daughter, Sarah. Although I only knew your Dad through Facebook, I could tell by his posts how proud of you he was. And to Kevy's entire family, may your wonderful memories help comfort you during this very difficult time.
