Billy Joe "Bill" Evans
October 10, 1938 — June 24, 2022
Billy Joe “Bill” Evans, 83, of Grain Valley, MO passed away on Friday, June 24th, 2022.
A memorial visitation will be held from 6-8pm on Thursday, June 30th at Speaks Suburban Chapel; 18020 E 39th St.; Independence, MO 64055.
Bill was born on October 10, 1938, in Macon, MO to Clarence and Laveta (Smith) Evans. He attended Northeast High School in Kansas City and married his beloved Joyce Ann Bruce on June 13, 1959, married 62 years before her passing in September of 2020. Bill was a proud Sheet Metal union member, and also worked at Western Electric. He was also a leader in the Kansas City Woodworkers Guild for over 20 years. He participated in the Deer Creek Sportsman Club as an avid hunter and fisherman. In his free time, Bill could often be found crafting wooden treasures in his workshop, deer or quail hunting or fishing at Lake Jacomo. He cheered on his local Royals and Chiefs and loved the companionship of his dogs and then “grand dogs”. Bill was also a devoted husband to Joyce. There was hardly a day that went by in her last two years that he did not spend by her side.
Bill leaves behind his son, Chuck (wife Debbie) Evans and daughter, Sherri (husband, Mark) Duman; grandchildren, Katie Evans, Dylan (wife Abigail) Duman, and Dustin Duman. He is preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife, Joyce; and a grandson, Tyler Evans.
Contributions may be made in Bill’s honor to KC Pet Project.
