William Glenn Evans Jr.

He kept the lights on for others and now he shines among the stars. 

William “Will” Glenn Evans, Jr., 35, of Randleman, NC passed away tragically while working on the job he loved as a dedicated lineman of 10 years.

Will gave his life in service, doing the work that brought him purpose and pride. Known affectionately as Will or Jr. to those who loved him, had a larger-than-life spirit and a heart just as big. He was a man of many passions: an avid movie lover who could quote scenes like second nature, a true grill master who lit up every gathering with his skills and laughter, and a loyal friend who made everyone around him feel like family.

To know Will was to know unwavering love. He was a devoted father to his son, Kolson Reese Evans, who was the center of his world. His pride in Kolson was unmatched, and his memory will live on through the life and light of his son.

He is survived by his father, William Glenn Evans, Sr., his son Kolson, his brother Fritz Evans, extended relatives in Florida, and many close friends who became his chosen family. 

Will had a deep love for the outdoors—he found joy in fishing and tearing through the mud on four-wheelers. He was a fan of slot machines, always chasing the next big win, and cruising around in his beloved truck, Black Betty—the love of his life on four wheels.

Though his time was cut far too short, Will's legacy will live on in every story shared, every memory held close, and every spark of joy he gave to those lucky enough to know him.

The family will receive friends in a public visitation on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 from 12:00-2:00pm at Pugh Funeral Home of Randleman, 600 S. Main St. Randleman, NC 27317. A funeral service will follow at 2:00pm in the funeral home chapel, and will conclude with burial at Randolph Memorial Park, 4538 US Hwy 220 Business N. Asheboro, NC 27203.
