Jon Jay Evans' Obituary
Jon Jay Evans was born to the late Jimmie and Georgia Evans on November 4, 1958. He departed this earthly life on July 13, 2026, in Methodist University Hospital.
He was a former member of Chelsea Avenue Church of Christ and Klondike Church of Christ.
Jon worked at Nike for 30 years. He was a very generous and giving person who quietly helped many in need. He never wanted any attention for the work and help he gave; he just did it. He was a very gentle soul. He will truly be missed.
