Dennis Evans

Dennis ‘DJ' Evans lost his battle with addiction on Sunday November 10, 2024. He was born January 30, 1981, in Bucyrus, Ohio to Rebecca Evans and Dennis Engard. Until recent years when he moved to Mansfield, Dennis was a lifelong resident of Bucyrus and attended Bucyrus High School. On June 14, 2019, he married his wife Bridget (Fazenbaker) Evans, who survives him.

Dennis is also survived by his mother and stepfather Matt and Becky Saffell of Bucyrus, as well as his father Dennis Engard of Newark. He is also survived by 3 children, Logan Evans, Maya Evans, and Eric Crawford, and a brother Corey Combs and niece Melana Combs. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Virgil and Betty Evans, and an uncle, Michael Evans.

The family would like to people to remember that Dennis was more then the addiction that shadowed his life. DJ was a funny personable little boy that was adored by his grandparents and idolized by his younger cousins. He was soft spoken and had a soft heart for people. He loved the Cincinnati Bengals and collected Bengals memorabilia. He also enjoyed working on computers and other small electronics and was quite accomplished at it. Dennis was employed at Jones Potato Chip Company in Mansfield Ohio, and at Bayworld in Mansfield Ohio.

The family has plans for a Celebration of Life at a later date. Donations for his final expenses can be made to Affordable Cremation Services of Ohio.
