    Evans enjoyed the outdoors, fishing on his boat, or fly fishing, going on a drive to the mountains and spotting wildlife and going on picnics.  In his younger years he came home to hunt deer with his brothers and with his daughter.

    Evans took endless pictures on many occasions, and also fun pictures of his grandkids and other family members.
    He came back to Randlett to live with his daughter Christine.  When asked, he would sometimes tell people he was “just visiting” after 6 years.
