His sons obit:

Garry Eavenson, 57, of Asheville, died Wednesday, October 6, 2004.

Mr. Eavenson was born in Haywood County and was a son of the late Thomas D. "Tom" Eavenson. He was also preceded in death by nephews Ricky Brian Eavenson and David Allen Walker. He was a member of New Morgan Hill Baptist Church.

He was a graduate of Wingate University and was the retired vice-president of Appalachian Stove, Inc. He was loved and respected by all who knew him as a hard-working Christian man. His family was the most important thing in his life and his grandchildren will miss their dear "Grandpa".

In his retirement he was an avid golfer and will be missed by "the gang" at High Vista Country Club.

Mr. Eavenson was a self made man, having built his own house and business with his twin brother. He was also renowned in classic car circles as an expert restoring classic Chevrolets. It was said that he could do more with a hammer and screwdriver than most could do with a garage full of tools. Those who knew him know there will never be another like him. He helped so many people and refused any thought of acknowledgment for his good deeds. Those who didn't know him could never realize the genius and talent this man possessed. He can only be described the way his wife often put it: "He was a special man."

Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 37 years, Peggy Caldwell Eavenson; one daughter Teresa Renee Eavenson of Asheville; a son, Garry Benton Eavenson and his wife Kellie of Rock Hill, SC; his mother Valerie Eavenson Holloway and step-father, the Reverend Virgil Holloway of Waynesville; two sisters Patsy Plemmons and her husband Larry of Surfside Beach, SC and Peggy Messer and her husband Manson of Waynesville; three brothers, his identical twin and best friend Barry Eavenson and his wife Ailene of Asheville, Tommy Eavenson and his wife Vicki of Canton and Scotty Eavenson and his wife Kathy of Waynesville; and two grandchildren Benton Caldwell Eavenson and Olivia Rae Eavenson of Rock Hill.

Burial will be at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
