Obituary - Curtis Evans

Curtis Evans, 94, of Barbourville passed away August 1, 2024.  Curtis was the son of William Frank Evans and Ethel Cheek Evans born to them July 4, 1930, in Chenoea, Bell County, Kentucky.

Curtis will forever be remembered as a kind, hardworking man who loved his family dearly.  He was a dedicated member of Warren Baptist Church.  Curtis united in marriage to Shirley Centers on October 3, 1952, and to this union three sons, Michael, Tony, and Jerry, were born.  Curtis took every opportunity to help others in need.  He worked his entire life as an auto mechanic; a trade he enjoyed doing as well as teaching.  Curtis will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
