MAJEL WAYNE EVANS, SR.,
81, of Little Rock, Ark., was called home on April 26, 2021. He was born on August 9, 1939, in Quitman, Ark., to Willie Floyd and Leatha Evans.
Majel drove a truck for most of his life and retired in 2001. He enjoyed driving and there many times he would return from a trip and Mom would have all of us kids packed up for him to turn right around and head out again on a vacation or camping trip.
He loved staying busy and working with his hands. If he wasn’t out building something in the shop then he was out somewhere making repairs for someone. If he couldn’t fix it, it was truly broken!
The animals! Oh, the animals! He loved tending to and spoiling the animals…chickens, ducks, turkeys, dogs and cats (and whatever else happened to come into the yard).
There is no doubt that anyone that met him LOVED him and he was, indeed, a great man who was truly loved by all. Mom had been patiently waiting for him since 2007 and now the wait is over. They will wait patiently for the rest of the family together, side by side.
Isaiah 46:4 “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”
Psalms 147:3 “He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.”
Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife of 47 years, Linda Evans; brother, Roland Evans; sisters, Bonnie Walter; and Connie Baker. Majel is survived by sons, Majel Evans, Jr. (Jody); Steven Evans (Sheri); daughter, Tonya Bell (Jack); grandchildren, Jessica Evans; Gunner Evans; Heather Moore; Maddux Bell; great-grandchildren, Cameron; Jawan; Alexus; and Liza Evans; brothers, Gene Evans (Joan); Jimmy Evans (June); sister, Janice Wilson; and sister-in-law, Laura Evans. He also leaves a host of loving nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
