Johnson Evans, Jr. age 63, went home to be with his Lord, on April 2, 2021. John was born on October 6, 1957 to the late Johnny and Sue Evans of Conway, Arkansas.
John was a Christian and loved the Lord Jesus Christ.

John believed in Romans 6:23 ''For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.'' John was a member of Skyland Southern Baptist Church in Fox, Arkansas.
John worked as a Benefit Enrollment Specialist for USAble Life.
If you knew John you know he loved Jesus, his family, fox hunting and the Razorbacks!

I have no words to express how much I’m gonna miss you. Who can I have my late night talks with now? I have known you for 40 years and you have always ,always been there for me. You may have left this old world but I’ll always treasure our friendship. Like I have always said “You can’t get rid of me ole buddy “and you always reminded me that I was older than you ( by 7 months) but although I can’t see you anymore on this old earth, I won’t say good-bye. I am saying see you later my wonderful buddy. Until we meet again, I’ll hold you in my heart.
To the family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I know this man loved all of you with his whole heart. I pray for comfort for you all. He was a very special man that you just couldn’t help but love him.He will be missed by so many.
Save me a seat ole buddy. One day we will laugh and talk again. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
