George "Gene" Eugene Evans

Memorial services for George Eugene Evans, 66, of Langley, were held Monday, March 2, 2015 at Johnson Funeral Chapel in Sperry, OK. Reverend Dean Robison officiated and burial was in Rest Haven Cemetery in Sperry, OK. Honorary Casket Bearers were Robert B. Schnyer, Marty Harmon, Carl E. Adams, Jeremiah “Hoobie” Haff, Joseph A. Arroyo, and Robert Gunning.

George was born April 7, 1948 in Tulsa, OK to George E. and Lavon Irene (Robison) Evans. He passed away February 26, 2015 in Muskogee, OK.

George proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1967-68. He was a machinist for most of his life. George loved John Wayne movies, garage sales, dirty jokes, women, and most of all going fishing. If George liked you, you knew it – and if he didn’t like you, you knew that for sure as well! He was never shy. George was a really hard worker – he went from sun-up to sundown.

He is survived by his daughter, Susan Schnyer of Mineral Wells, TX; grandchildren, Becca Hanna, Kara Adams, and Shae Adams, Amy Lynn Evans, Satin Schnyer, “Cubby” Schnyer, and Gypsy River Schnyer; sisters, Patricia Adams of Sperry, and Joyce Langston of Prattville; uncles, Raymond Robison of Sperry and Jim Robison of Tulsa; several cousins; a few very loved in-laws, especially Rob and Eddie; his two babies, Tex and Bubba; and many other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Rebecca S. Groppi; son, Jerry Wayne Evans; and parents, George and Lavon Evans.
