Glenn A. Evans

Glenn A. Evans passed away on Sunday, April 23, 2017, in his home with family and loved ones nearby. He had battled complications from a lung transplant for over a year. He was born on October 14, 1943, in Blackfoot, Idaho to Henry and Eleanor Evans. He was the younger of two sons. He met Joyce Christenson at Blackfoot High School and they became high school sweethearts. They were married in the Idaho Falls Temple on August 2, 1963. Glenn served his country in Vietnam in the U.S. Air Force and then served as an officer until he retired as a major. He also served in many positions in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints including bishop in a family ward in Colorado Springs, Colorado and a bishop in a college student ward in Cedar City, Utah. He graduated with a bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University in advertising and marketing. He later earned a master's degree in education from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. He had many talents and hobbies that he loved to share. He loved to play the trumpet in high school and was always delighted when he heard the trumpets play. He enjoyed working with wood and many people enjoyed his craftsmanship in the form of cabinets, tables, and other masterpieces made in his workshop. He loved to build and fly model airplanes. His garage is loaded with many planes he built by hand. He also had a love for cars and every car he owned looked as new as the day he bought it. Glenn was a soft-spoken, quiet man, but the example he set was second to none. His family and friends know him as a man who truly followed the Savior's example. His greatest love was his wife, Joyce, and his children and grandchildren. He is survived by his wife: Joyce Evans; his brother: Clair (Linda) Evans; his children: Mark (Suzy) Evans, Steve (Tara) Evans, and Teresa (Cody) Christensen; and his 11 grandchildren. A graveside service will be held at 1:00 on Saturday May 13 at the Cedar City Cemetery after which a celebration of his life will be held at an open house at the home of Teresa and Cody Christensen (924 East Fiddlers Canyon Road, Cedar City).
