1LT US Army
He was a World War II pilot, killed while flying supplies from China to India. The aircraft never reached its destination, and searches during and following World War II failed to locate the crash site. The fate of the four airmen was not known until Chinese officials reported in 2001 that they had come across the wreckage of a World War II plane in a remote part of Tibet.
While clothes and dog tags were taken by scavangers, the crew did find bones and other remains in the wreckage. Personal identification allowed the Evans family to request a formal burial in Rapid City. He was buried next to his parents on May 13, 2006, in a cemetery plot that his mother insisted on buying many years ago. His name is listed on the Tablets of the Missing at Manila American Cemetery. He also has a cenotaph memorial stone at Black Hills National Cemetery and his returned remains are buried in the family plot in Rapid City.
He was survived by his parents, Helen Mae Evans and Reverend C A Evans; one brother, Lt A Wesley Evans; and a sister, Raevenna.
A group burial for the co-mingled remains of the entire crew took place on May 9, 2006, at Arlington National Cemetery.
