Evan T. Jimerson, a cherished father, husband, brother, uncle, grandfather and friend, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on June 5, 2025, at the age of 47 in Mishawaka, Indiana. Evan was born on October 7, 1977, in St. Louis, Missouri.
His dear mother Pamala Brown preceded Evan in death, as well as his mother in-law the late Jenifer Muszynski and brother-in-law Troy Stout.
Evan's life was a testament to the virtues of strength, courage, love, and humor. Those who had the pleasure of knowing Evan saw these qualities shine through in every aspect of his life. He was a devoted family man, deeply in love with his wife, Jonda Jimerson (Wofford), and immensely proud of his children – Tres Jones, Lashyra Jimerson (Jarbe), Evionna Jimerson, and Samarah Jimerson.
Revered as a pillar of strength alongside his immediate family, Evan leaves behind his sister Aqueba Jimerson, brother Steven Jimerson, and sister Tamyra Allen.
His cherished in-laws Steve Wofford (Kay), Mike Muszynski, Keith and Rose Carl, Sally and Josh Ball, Leah and Austin Mielke, Brad Wofford and Chris Wofford. The family legacy he was so proud of includes his great Uncle Charles Jimerson (Kate) and great cousins Leah Jimerson and Andrew Jimerson and
Uncle Michael DeAndre Jimerson (Tanisha ) cousins :Airel Andrea, Cameron Jamal, Jeremiah Seth, and Malaysia Marie Jimerson
Also, Tony & Fran Wisniewski as bonus family members that helped make one of his bucket lists happen to see his beloved Boston Celtics.
His wide circle of family extended to his loved nieces & nephews: Michael Ampy, Malik Ampy, Aasha Ampy,Ampy, Candace Jimerson, Layla Walker, Iyana Jimerson (Tyran), Tallulah Jones, Steven Jimerson Jr (Alicia), Jalayden Jimerson, Malachi Carl (Emilie), Alexandria-Marie Carl (Steve), Makaylah Rosbrugh, Novalee Ball, Arianna Ball, Viktor McKillip, Zeke Stout, Trent Stout, Taniya Barnett, Kaela Barnett, Kahelal Barnett and, Kayla Allen.
His joy was made complete by his treasured grandchildren, Jazeel Boyd and Jadayce Boyd.
Evan dedicated twenty years of his professional life to Hoosier Tank, where he proudly held the position of Supervisor. His colleagues knew him as a man of integrity and perseverance, someone who brought not just skill but also laughter to the workplace.
Beyond work, Evan had an affinity with the Boston Celtics, reflecting his undying love for basketball and the thrill of the game. His interest in fishing offered him solace and reflection, while his zest for barbecues and shooting dice with his best friends, Douglas Freeman and Carl "Wooda" Stansberry, filled his days with camaraderie and joy. Sharing these interests brought Evan into a wide community, enriching his life with strong bonds and mutual affection.
Evan will always be remembered as a courageous, loving, and funny individual. Through the many roles he played – as a leader, a mentor, a confidant, and a comedian – he embodied the kind of man who makes every challenge seem surmountable and every moment worth embracing. His laughter echoes in the memories of all who knew him, his kindness is indelibly imprinted on their lives, and his legacy of love and determination will continue to inspire.
As we bid farewell to Evan T. Jimerson, we acknowledge the absence his departure leaves in the fabric of our daily lives. However, we take comfort in the overwhelming love he shared, the lives he uplifted, and the enduring memories he created. Evan's story-a beautiful narrative of joy, love, and unshakable spirit-will be told for generations to come as a testament to the extraordinary life he lived. May we carry forward his legacy of love, laughter, and strength as we celebrate the remarkable man that he was. Evan will be profoundly missed, but his spirit will forever remain a guiding light to us all.
