Charles Leslie Evans, age 90, of Kanarraville went home to be with the Lord, Sunday, June 14, 2015 at his home with his loving wife, daughter, granddaughters, grandson-in-law and his two great-granddaughters.
Charles was born September 25, 1924 in Rock Creek, Ohio to Milo Anderson Evans and Chloie Bird Young. He lived and survived by his wife, Ruth Daniels for 34 years. They were married in Preston, Nevada on September 25, 1985. Throughout his life, Charlie was a member of the Red Hills Baptist Church.
Charlie was a veteran of WWII serving in the Army with the 25th Infantry. He served his country in the Philippines and in Japan. Charlie’s profession for 27 years was driving the Greyhound Bus. After retiring, he drove tour buses for Lake Shore and Utah Valley from Provo, UT for 16 years. Charlie retired his long time profession at the age of 82.
Our father and grandfather was a very proud and enthusiastic collector of antiques that he had collected from all of his travels throughout his life time. Charlie was a great father to his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Charlie supported his children and grandchildren in every step they took in life. Not only was he a role model but also a father figure to his grandchildren.
Charlie is survived by his wife, Ruth, daughters, Tina Minniear (Kevin) and Tammy Childers (Charlie), Billy Minniear, grandchildren, Coden and Liz Minniear, McKale Minniear, Justice Minniear and Mike Jacobs, Toni (Franando) Ortega, Randy Cardon and Tonya Cardon, four great-grandchildren, two sisters Dorothy Hamilton of Ashta Bula, OH and Iona Deemer of Geneva, OH and one step-daughter, Alive Minor. He was preceded in death by his parents Milo and Chloie Evans, brothers, Royce, Keith, Shirley, and Blain, two sisters Hilda and Audrey, son Jimmy Evans, and great-grandson, Tracker Minniear.
Charlie and Ruth provided music for 6 ½ Years for senior citizens. The players were Ray Taylor, Julie Beck, Jerry Davenport, Wayne Finn, Dan Simon, and Chet Flanker. One of Charlies’ passions was playing his harmonica.
