Gordon E. Evans

September 12, 1955 - December 8, 2020

Gordon E. Evans, age 65, of Newark, OH, passed in peace on December 8, 2020. Gordon served with the U.S. Army, and retired from a happy career with Uni-Shippers. Gordon is preceded in death by his mother and father; brother, John White; sisters, Glee Pitt and Diedra Layton. Gordon is survived by his spouse, Linda V. Evans; sisters, Cherie and Pat Davis; nephews, Mike Wells, Jay Wells, Brett Layton, Charlie White, and Scott White; nieces, Peggy Wells and Marla Christy. Gordon graduated from Ghanna Lincoln High School. Gordon Loved listening to music or practicing drums, which he played quite proficiently. He also enjoyed oil painting, which he used to create family treasures, or to have placed in galleries around Columbus, or for sale nation-wide. Gordon loved driving, especially lengthy drives to destinations unknown. Gordons favorite car was the Lincoln Town Car. In his driving days, he owned 3. Among his family and friends, he was legendary for his peanut butter-chocolate fudge and his signature spaghetti. Gordon kept his faith in God close. He prayed regularly, every day. He saw the Devine in his everyday life, and he walked in worship everywhere he went. Gordon and Linda used to enjoy walks around the neighborhood or the mall. Gordon and Linda’s favorite evening activity was gathering by the TV and talking about anything and everything. Gordon told his wife that he loved her many times, every day. His compliments were as ardent as his belief that Linda was his soul-mate and that god had brought them together. He was always a hopeless romantic. He was a man that kept his dear ones close in his thoughts, so to will he be kept by all those that love him, now and forever. Friends may call from 1 PM to 3 PM, Thursday, December 17th, at RUTHERFORD-CORBIN FUNERAL HOME, 515 High St., Worthington, OH, 43085. Prayers offered by Pastor Brett Layton.
