David Carlton Evans

David Carlton Evans, age 59, passed away on April 8, 2026.

David was a man who appreciated the simple things in life and found his greatest joy in the outdoors. He loved hunting, fishing, camping, and spending time in nature, where he felt most at home. Whether he was casting a line, sitting around a campfire, or working in his garden, David was happiest when he was outside.

He had a true love for cooking, especially grilling for family and friends. David could always be counted on to put together a good meal, though cleaning up the mess afterward was never quite his favorite part.

David also had a deep love for Rottweilers and took great pride in raising them over the years. His dogs were more than pets to him; they were loyal companions and a reflection of the care and dedication he gave to the things he loved.

Known for his hard-headed nature and determined spirit, David was never one to back down from a challenge. In fact, if there was ever something that needed to be done, all someone had to do was tell him he couldn’t, and he would be sure to prove them wrong.

David will be remembered as a hardworking man who enjoyed the outdoors, took pride in the things he loved, and never backed down from a challenge. His stubborn nature, sense of humor, and the memories he made with family and friends will not be forgotten. He will be missed by those who knew and loved him.
