George Evans

February 9, 1939 - June 14, 2019

George Larry Evans, 80, of Midwest City, Oklahoma, passed away on June 14, 2019. He was born February 9, 1939 to Woodrow Evans and Clara Virginia George Evans in Independence, Louisiana. George was always mechanically intelligent and enjoyed working with his hands and fixing things. As a young adult, he even built a motorhome out of a school bus. George and his children made lots of memories traveling in it to the beaches of Mississippi, Florida, and Georgia. He also loved teaching his children to ride dirt bikes, as well as watching sports - especially the LSU Tigers and other college football teams in the Southeastern Conference. George grew up an only child after the death of his sister, but was close to his cousins, Joseph and Iris, who were all born the same year and called themselves the “39ers.” He was considered the front runner, as his birthdate was the earliest in the year. George is preceded in death by his parents, Woodrow and Virginia; son, Mark Evans; and sister, Patricia Evans. Left to honor his legacy are his daughter, Dawn Leopard of Spencer, Oklahoma; caregiver and former wife, Mary Alice Evans of Midwest City; cousins, Joseph Howes of Gulfport, Mississippi, and Iris Bowles of Boulder, Colorado; as well as a host of other family and friends. There are no services for George at this time, but please leave a memory on this page for the family to cherish.
