Norman Evans Obituary

In Loving Memory
Salt Lake City, UT-Norman 'Non' Richard Evans, our loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend passed away living life to the fullest on August 4, 2014.
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. He was a great friend to many and his amazing storytelling, sharp personality, and honest advice will be deeply missed. Norman was a member of the LDS church and will be dancing with his wife Beverlee for time and all eternity.
Norman is preceded in death by his wife Beverlee, daughter Nonalee, three brothers- Ross, Robert, Gene , and three sisters Jolene (Sis), Sharon, and Jeannette. He is survived by his brother Jerry, children Scott (Teresa) Evans, Mickeleen ( special son-in-law, Joe) Thomas, grandchildren- Charice, Michelle, Ashely, Tyler, Daniel, Lennon, Matt, and Julia, great grandchildren, and many dear friends.
A service to honor Norman's life will be held Redwood Memorial Mortuary on Friday August 8, 2014 at 11:00 A.M. with a viewing to be held one hour prior to services.
A celebration of Norman's life will be held following the service at his daughter's home (4580 S. Thousand Oaks Drive Salt Lake City, Utah 84124).

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
