Brother Carroll you were a delight to work with. I remember all the fun times on out of town services. God truly takes the best. I'm proud and honored to have known you. Prayers and well wishes to the family.

I am so sorry to hear about Bro. Evans. He was a fine man and my mother's pastor for many years. God Bless You and Your Family during this time.
It has been just a month since I last saw Bro. Evans, he was telling me he had come out of retirement to do a service. I have known him since I was in high school and he was always such a kind and caring person, he will truly be missed, prayers for your family.
Thank you, Carroll for being best friend with me at Roller-Citizens. I always adored you, Man. My thoughtful prayers going to familly and all members of churches where Carroll pastored
Warren, Damon and family I can see your father in law and grandfather was one fine man of God. I am sure you have many great times with him. Hold on to those memories and you can smile when you think of him. I know you know without a doubt Mr. Evans is with the Lord. Look to the Lord for He Is Our comforter.
Keeping you all in my prayers,
Linda (Gongre) Williams
Bro. Evans was a very great man and one of the sweetest bosses I ever had. I think of him every time I hear "O Holy Night". He sang that like no one else. I will be praying for your sweet family.
We are so sorry to hear about your Father. We will keep you in our prayers
