Albert "Al" Evans died at his home in Lansing on Monday, October 13, 2025.
Al was born on October 20, 1937 in Lansing to Delbert "Rinn" and Marion Evans. He grew up in Lansing and graduated from Sexton High School. Al met his wife Shirley in 1959 at Kewpee Sandwich Shop. They married on May 6, 1961 and celebrated 64 years of marriage earlier this year.
Al served in the National Guard for six years. Al spent his career as a Data Processing Manager at Olofsson Corporation, retiring in 2000. Shortly after his retirement, he began volunteering at Sparrow Hospital's St. Lawrence Campus and continued to do so for nearly 20 years. He delighted in brightening people's day, especially by handing out candy everywhere he went. Al also made the most delicious caramels to share with friends and family. He loved musicals, MSU sports, sappy movies, and his family.
Al is preceded in death by his parents, Rinn and Marion Evans, and his brother, John Evans.
Al is survived by his spouse, Shirley Evans; his children, Rinn (Kaye) and Scott (Cindy) Evans; his grandchildren, Stacey (Sean) Goodman, Ryan Evans, Katelyn (Sean) Haskin, Lacey (Anthony Russel) Evans, Jacob Evans, and Cam (Riley) Evans; his great-grandchildren, Lily, Clara, Henry, Arlo, Brooks, and Emmett; and his siblings, Shirley Buchner and David Evans.
A private family gathering will take place at a later date.
