Norman was born on May 11, 1932 to Beatrice Payne Evans and Ansel Leroy Evans in Ogden, Utah. He was one of 8 siblings; he had 4 brothers and 3 sisters. He married the love of his life Beverlee Jean Johnson Evans in September 1952. Together they had three children. Norman was a skilled boxer in his youth and worked with the State of Utah D.O.T. as a respected welder for over 30 years. Norman loved dancing, camping, boating, spending time outdoors, and was an avid fishermen and swimmer. He loved spending time with his family and spent many hours passing on his love for nature, fishing and the water to his grandchildren, who will be forever grateful for having him as a grandpa.

I am saddened to hear of Norm's passing. I had the opportunity to get know him when he worked in the MOW program. I could always count on him for smile and laugh. Even after he retired from the Meals program, I would see him every year at the Senior Expo, same as always, happy and enjoying life. My thoughts are with you.
Respectfully,
Dwight Rasmussen

A true friend to all! A wise man with hart! The people at Udot was saddened the day he announced his retirement. And now it has saddened me to know that I no longer will be able to see that smile and hear the laughs. I remember the time that we four went Cisco fishing at Bear Lake, he was so excited to catch so many that he couldn't stop laughing. And at his request, went in to Jim's camper and eat some so that he could catch more. Normy was the party, at any function at work or play. Good bye for now my fiend, Until we meet again.

I got to know Norm at Meals on Wheels where he worked and contributed for many years after his retirement from UDOT. Norm warmed the place up!! His happy smile, friendly word and sage advice made every day better. If the world had more of him it would be a much better place. My best to the family. Marvin Conrad
