Charles "Chuck" Evans

Charles W. Evans (Chuck) passed into the arms of his Savior, Jesus Christ, on January 20, 2021 at the age of 89.  He was the beloved husband of Becky Evans for over 57 years and father of Jacqueline (Steve), Christina (Rick), David (Julie) and Daniel.  Chuck will also be lovingly remembered by his 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.  He was preceded in death by his mother, Stella Mae Evans and his father, Oscar Edward Evans.  Surviving are two sisters, Elizabeth Mohney of Michigan and Jeri Merillat of Ohio.

A hard-working man, Chuck earned journeyman status as an iron-worker, millwright and pipefitter before going to college at age 28 at Bob Jones University.  After earning his Associate’s degree he ministered to the homeless for 15 years by directing gospel rescue missions in New York, Cleveland and Detroit.  He returned to work as a millwright at GM for 13 years until God called him back to rescue ministry in 1991 at Good News Ministries in Indianapolis where he remained active well after retirements as a board member until his home-going.
