Donald is survived by his daughter, Crystal Robertson, and her partner Eric Caulk, who provided care and companionship in his final days. He also leaves behind his stepchildren Allen Powell and Sam (Josh) Bennett, and was a proud grandfather to Jonathan Carmichael, Hunter Robertson, Beau Bennett, and Jace Bennett; and great-granddaughter, Elodie Hall. He also leaves behind his siblings, Danny Griffis, Robert (Katrina) Griffis, and John Sanford, Sr. A constant through many years was his close friendship and business partnership with Marvin Godwin, spanning over five decades.

Donald was preceded in death by his parents, O.D. Evans and Pauline Griffis; and his brothers, Charles Evans and Jack Sanford. 

Donald Levi Evans lived a life with dedication, humor, and love. He will be remembered respectfully by those whose lives he touched, both through his professional accomplishments and his enduring role as a cherished family member and friend.
