Bio
Robert Burns Evans, 84, of Hatch, Utah died July 13, 2013 in Panguitch, Utah. He was born January 18, 1929 in Hatch to Norma Alice and Hyrum Fay Evans. He was the second of 9 children. He married Daisie Ardis Johnson May 18th, 1946 in Fredonia, AZ. On April 30th, 1960 the marriage was solemnized in the St. George Temple. Bob worked for several logging contractors and road construction running heavy machinery and trucks. He worked at the Garfield Road Department for 35+ years until he retired in 1991. Bob has many stories about the roads he worked on throughout southern Utah. But his love of all his jobs was running a grader. His passion could be shown through his skills on a grader. Bob always said he was born, raised and will die in Hatch. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held several positions in the Hatch ward. In 1999, Ardis was moved into the long term care center in Panguitch. Bob never missed a single day trip to visit Ardis for more than 3 years until she passed away. Bob was known to make the best coconut cream pies and he shared them with all the people he loved. His grandchildren will always remember the love he shown them though his cooking. Most mornings he would wake up whistling and making pancakes. In the evening it was a treat to have his dutch oven potatoes. He is survived by his children, Michael J Evans (Jill) and Kimberlee Hamblin (Eddie), brother, Douglas James Evans and sisters, Virginia Young and Lorena Gish. Bob was preceded in death by his wife, Ardis Evans, parents, Hyrum Fay and Norma Alice Ellison Evans, brothers and sisters, Guy Hyrum Evans, Sharon Hunt, Richard David Evans, Roger Kenneth Evans, and Steven Fay Evans. Funeral services will be held Saturday, July 20th, 2013 at 12:00 Noon in the Hatch Ward Chapel with a viewing from 11:00 to 11:45. Internment will be following at the Hatch Town Cemetery.
