Thomas Evans Obituary
Thomas S. Evans, 69, of Dallas, peacefully passed away Saturday, Jan. 21, 2023, in Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center surrounded by family at his bedside.
Born in Trucksville, he was the son of the late Thomas and Arlene Hoover Evans and was the youngest of five children.
In addition to his parents, Thomas was preceded in death by his brother, Lee Evans.
Left to cherish his memories are his wife of 22 years, Deborah Evans; daughter, Lou Ann and her husband, Jack Frank; son, Curtis and his wife, Meredith Evans; stepson, Greg and his wife, Michelle Miller; stepson, William Roper; stepdaughter, Jennifer Jones; stepdaughter, Dawn Zavec; nine grandchildren; and his two sisters, Lois Waltich and Barbra Evans, Dunland, Fla.; and brother, Curtis Evans, Scott Run.
Thomas graduated from the West Side Career & Technology Center. He pursued a career as a commercial driver for most of his life and in the early 80s he became an owner operator working with Road Masters/Bennet pulling oversized loads across the country. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and he was an avid NASCAR and racing fan. Some of his favorite pastimes were just hanging out with friends and family swapping stories and reminiscing.
A memorial and celebration of life for Thomas will be announced at a later date.
Arrangements are from Harold C. Snowdon Funeral Home Inc., Shavertown.

Rest in peace Timmy, you earned it. Rick and I have many wonderful memories of good times from hunting and fishing, family gatherings, and camping on Swamp Road, Hunlock Creek to mention just a few. You were a good friend and brother-in-law and had a great sense of humor. My condolences to his wife Debbie and his family, especially his son, my nephew, Curtis as well as to all who knew and loved Timmy. May God bless all of you at this very sorrowful time.

Timmy was such a great friend with a laugh and smile for you. His ten-point buck made him a hero to many a boy in Trucksville. What good times we had fishing! Rest in peace friend.
