Robert Neldon Evans

I just found this while searching for my old friend and employer. Bob hired me to work for him in his warehouse at Jabberwockey, Mind´s Eye in Novato CA. when I was about 16. He was a friend and a mentor and I have great memories of working for him and playing basketball on our lunch break. What a great guy!

Dear Evans Family,
I just learned of Bob's passing via the Beta network, and am shocked and saddened by the news. I was active with Bob in the Beta House during the 1960's, and recall many wonderful conversations and adventures with him during that precious time. A few years after our U of U graduations and having embarked on our respective career paths, Bob in California and me in New York City, Bob showed up one day at my office in Manhattan to say hello.
He agreed to come home...

Scoty So Deeply Sorry For Your loss

The Salpointe Catholic High School community extends deepest sympathy to the Evans family. You are in our prayers at this difficult time.

When you get new neighbors and you share a narrow driveway, you worry. When both you and your new neighbors are completely renovating your houses – simultaneously – you really worry. It says a great deal about Bob and Marti's characters that we survived that time, while backhoes, concrete trucks and assorted contractors came and went, without ever exchanging a cross word. The entire undertaking - a complicated and difficult project, carried out with great skill and determination,...

Our family loved to joke around with Bob, and he with us, about the whole BYU/Utah rivalry. When Bob went in for the brain surgery I texted him that maybe the surgery would help him see things more clearly and he may become a BYU fan. Bob's reply, "Small chance for that . . . I'm having brain surgery, not a total lobotomy. My doctors are pro life and that would kill me." Staring it in the face, he still found a way to laugh.

I still use the brief lesson on forehand and backhand...

Marti,

I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was an amazing person and his energy and passion will be missed greatly. I have all your families in my thoughts during this difficult time. Much love, respect and sympathy,

jim & Karri

Marti,

You lived a beautiful love story. Not many people can say that about the love in their lives. I grieve for your loss and wish the very best for you and your dear family, both the Bradley and Evans clans.

Love you, Marti
