Our dad, Gary Grant Evans passed peacefully October 23, 2024 surrounded by love and his family. 

Born April 6, 1948 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Gary was raised on the family farm in Alingly, Sk and in Prince Albert.

He was pre deceased by his parents Wilfred and Marie (nee: Forrest) Evans , his brother George Evans and a granddaughter Jenna Marko.

Survived by his children, Derek Evans, Deidra Evans (John Fehr) and Darren Clements (Sheree), the mother of his children, Tammie Rissling and his grandchildren Taylor Clements, Braxton Ernst, Blake Ernst and Nicola Marko.

Gary resided and worked on the family farm until his health declined in early 2024 and after was cared for in Rosthern Mennonite Home.

He worked in construction as a drywaller for many years and farmed his entire life. This was his true passion.

He loved his family and spent years recounting the many memories he had with the community he lived in his entire life. 

In his final years at home he was always surrounded by his immediate family and cherished his dogs Emma and Timbo.

Gary had a rugged and keen sense of humour and enjoyed coffee time over the years with the many friends he had.

 

A celebration of Life will be held at the family farm June 28 2025

and all friends and family are invited to attend.
