Mark J Evans Obituary (1961

Mark Jay Evans was born on October 30, 1961 to Melvin J. Evans and Thelma Mae (Scott) Evans, in Tulsa, OK. He was lovingly nurtured by his grandmother, Margaret Evans and Step Mother, Lourdes Evans. As a boy, the family would take him on camping and fishing excursions to Lake Keystone. This is where his lifelong hobbies of fishing first and foremost, dirt biking and camping began at the curious age of five years old. Mark married the Love of His Life, Ina R. Evans on the blissful day of February 14, 1991 in a small Tabernacle Church in Tulsa, OK. They met at the MJ Bar on Highway 51 in Sand Springs, OK. Miss Ina lit the candle of his heart when she pinched his cheek, and he hit the eight-ball of all her emotions, and from that point on they became inseparable. They genuinely committed to one another to stay together, no matter the situation or circumstance, and were blessed with 24 years of marriage and the good life in Sand Springs. Mark loved spending time with his two children, Margaret (Maggie) J. Evans and Matt Huffman. He was Maggie's softball coach for the Fireballs, and was known to be compassionate and fun loving with his team whether they won or lost the game. His life's work entailed being a self-employed construction contractor known as Mark Evans Roofing.
