To the family of Chief Evans-I am so sorry to hear about the Chief-I worked for him at the PD for several years before I went to the court-he was a supervisor who would treat people right-the last time I was able to talk to him was at the prayer breakfast 2 years ago-unfortunately I was not able to attend the service but he will be missed-God Bless.

I had the joy of knowing Roger Evans when he went on the Springfield Area Emmaus Men's Walk. Seeing God shine thru him was awesome.
