Bob Evans

August 26, 2018

Bob Evans, 83 of Clendenin, completed his earthly journey August 26, 2018 in Dunn, North Carolina. He was preceded in death by his parents Arthur and Minnie Evans; his wife Eleanor; granddaughters, Leeann Spencer and Shannon Evans. He is survived by children, Joe Evans of Fuaquay, N.C., Vickie Downs of Louisburg, N.C., Cindy (Ronald) McLaughlin of Charleston; Tom (Betty) Evans of Paint Creek and Robin Adkins of Clendenin; grandchildren, Deana Smith, Malea O'Daniel, Bobbie Jean Evans, Hannah Evans, Lyinse Evans, Stephanie Parham, Thomas Spears, Michael Evans, Justin Evans and Joshua Evans; and 14 great-grandchildren. He was also loved by many nieces and nephews and their children. Bob was born September 9, 1934. A lifelong resident of Clendenin, Bob grew up walking the roads from Morris Creek to Clendenin. In 1954 he met the woman with whom he would spend his life. Bob and Eleanor had been married over 59 years when God took her home in 2013. While still a teenager Bob began working as a pipeliner. Through the years he worked for various companies including Shafer Pipeline and General Pipeline. After his retirement in the 1990’s, he helped Eleanor with her shop, the Fabric Hut, in Elkview. First as the handyman and later learning to measure and cut fabric for the customers. He loved to fish and hunt. He hunted every deer season with his son Tom and his son-in-law Ron. As his health declined Bob changed from hunting deer to sitting on his deck watching them as they walked through his yard. He spent many hours on his deck visiting with family and friends. He once said “don’t forget me”. The man that was known for his white pipe liner hats and big smile will never be forgotten. Bob will live on in the hearts of his family and friends forever. The funeral service will be 2:00 PM Friday August 31, 2018 at Matics Funeral Home with XXXX officiating. Burial will be in Myers Cemetery at a later date. The visitation will be 2 hours prior to the funeral at the funeral home. Online condolences may be expressed at maticsfuneralhome.com.
