Grandpa Evans

My Grandpa Art Passed away on Wednesday October 15th . It was unexpected and I was shocked when I heard the news, I think that I just thought that he would live forever. He was 91 years old. I really loved my Granpa and thought that I had the funniest, greatest Grandpa in the world. He always made me laugh because he thought that he was so cute and clever and got such a kick out of himself. He was always calling people prince or princ"ass". When he would see me he would usually say "whats a crampin you?" He had a never ending list of words that he like to switch up like "boot reer", "bat rasstard", and he used to call me the "hong laired" girl. Usually the second he arrived somewhere he would say "well i'm goin".

Grandpa really liked my Dan because he appreciated a hard worker, and Dan definitely is that. After Dan and I got married his new saying when he would see me was "Where is Dan the Man?" He would call Revin little Dan, and even thought he didn't have a lot of strength because of his age, he would still always pick up Revin and sit him on his lap.

Grandpa was so supportive of everything that I or anyone in my family ever did. He made it to every blessing, baptism, sealing, everything. He was to every Rammette Review, Dance Review, or Clogging Review that I was ever in.

Grandpa was like a legend in Parowan because so many people knew him and loved him. He wasn't afraid to say what he was thinking even though sometimes he shouldn't have. I think that it was his goal to meet everyone in the world. I'll miss his crude jokes and sense of humor, but I will also miss hearing his awesome prayers and him sharing his testimony. He has been so good to my Grandma Evans while she struggles with her memory loss. He fixed her meals, tucked her in, and always had her by his side. He loved my Grandma so so much! I am grateful that he was able to have such a long, healthy, happy life. I will miss him so so much!
