Jack R, Evans, 94, of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving wife and children at 9:08pm, on Thursday, September 7, 2023.

Jack was born on July 21, 1929, in Kansas City, Missouri.  Jack was a proud Marine and served his country as a veteran of WWII and the Korean War.  Jack was employed, as an Engineer, at Bendix from 1957-1965.  He later retired from AT&T in 1987, after 22 years of employment.

In 1957, Jack met Carmen, at a Milgram’s grocery store.  Jack and Carmen wed after a short courtship and together went on to raise five children (Jackie Bosworth, Bonnie Stroup, Vickie Anderson, Larry Evans and Kim Evans).  Jack and Carmen have nine grandchildren (Jennifer, Aron, Derek, Jason, Jonathon, Nicholas, Kristin, Megan and Ross) and ten great grand children (Luca, Viviana, Grayson, Shepard, Bailey, Gage, Katie, Ben, Mia and Alaina).

7/21/1929 – 9/07/2023.  They say that it is not the birth date or the date of death that is the most important in life but the dash in between.  Jack R. Evans had an amazing dash, full of loving relationships, a 66 year marriage to his beautiful wife Carmen, hundred of interesting stories and countless kind actions and deeds.  Jack was absolutely one-of-a-kind.  He had never met a stranger and never had an enemy.  He was thoughtful, giving, generous and caring.  He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Services will be held at Langsford Funeral Home, in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, On September 13, 2023 at 10am.  In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a charity near to your heart in memory of Jack R. Evans.
