Glenn Harvey Evitt, 78, died November 11, 2016, at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle after a six-month struggle with acute myeloid leukemia.
Glenn is survived by his wife, Paula J. Evitt, of the Birdsview neighborhood near Concrete. They had just celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary.
Paula and Glenn enjoyed their retirement showing and driving their classic cars, RV camping, reading, landscaping, and vegetable and flower gardening. At their home, Glenn planted a fruit orchard, a grape vineyard and 50 Douglas fir trees. He created rock borders and hand-split cedar rails for the fence.
Glenn started building utility trailers when he was in high school, and had finished his last flat-bed trailer just prior to his death. If you have a Glenn Evitt trailer, it was made for safety and it will last for years. Over the years, he also rebuilt engines for numerous cars and trucks.
Always thinking, inventing and building, Glenn spent a lot of time in his shop. There he had projects big and small, including the mini-trailer for the riding lawnmower and a garden seat on wheels for Paula.
Glenn was born September 19, 1938, in Longview. He attended grade school in Castle Rock. His family moved to Day Creek near the Skagit River around 1951. Glenn went to high school in Sedro-Woolley and Burlington.
After high school, Glenn worked for the Skagit County Highway Department as a surveyor. He then joined the National Guard and trained in California, working on tanks and jeeps.
Glenn loved the outdoors, and especially the woods. He worked as a logger and then with the Weyerhaeuser pulp mill in Longview. He was a "cedar rat" in Aberdeen, and a truck and equipment operator in Hoquiam.
Glenn enjoyed telling the stories of his logging days and driving a log truck. He was proud that he still had his CDL.
He began his 20-year career with the Skagit County Public Works road department in 1983, retiring in 2003 to a busy life.
One of Glenn's favorite trips was with his close friend, Chuck Moore. They hauled a boat up to the North Slope of Alaska to Deadhorse. The memory of that trip remained with him the rest of his life.
Preceding him in death were his son, Eric Potash; and his parents, Bernie F. Evitt, Louisa E. Plant Evitt Bussing and Raymond Bussing.
Family members surviving him include his biological children, Debbie, Don and David Evitt. Glenn had always hoped to rekindle a relationship with them.
Also surviving are his life-long sidekick and brother, Gary Evitt (Phyllis) of Vader; his sister, Janet Rich in Indiana; his uncle, Robert Plant of Sutherland, Oregon; and his cousins, Dennis Bussing of Mount Vernon, Lester Bussing (Cheryl) of Bremerton and Karen Klingshirn (Ralph) of Woodinville.
Close to his heart were Paula's children, Jon Bauer (Gale) of La Conner, Bruce Bauer (Janice) in North Carolina, Laura Haverly (Devon) in Texas, and especially Morgan Young (Brandon) of Sedro-Woolley. He also is survived by grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Glenn's friends were many. His logging partner, Ed Freeman (Mary) of Vader, gave Glenn the nickname "Frosty" before Glenn's hair turned white. Glenn stayed close to his former brother-in-law Chuck Moore and Chuck's wife, Phyllis, of Anacortes; his gear-head friend, Dave Stephens and Dave's wife, Luanne, of Conway; and Glenn's former wife, Mary Evitt of La Conner, and her brother, Jim Ryan of Seattle.
Paula thanks their family, friends and neighbors Marty and Bill Jennings, the Julius Schulze family and the Phil Joyce family as well as Gale's mom, Phyllis Fiege, for their help. Glenn's family also thanks the Merle Cancer Care Center, UW Medical Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and all the doctors, nurses and support staff for their professional and caring attention to Glenn's needs.
A celebration of Glenn Evitt's life is scheduled for January 14, 2017, at Hawthorne Funeral Home in Mount Vernon.
