Harold Edward Evans

Mr. Harold Edward Evans, 81, of Pilot Mountain went to be with his Lord on November 24, 2019, at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital. Our family is deeply saddened that Harold Evans, better known to us as Pa, passed away yesterday afternoon. Although there are no words for the great loss we have endured, we know that he is at peace now. Harold was one of the kindest, friendliest, and most selfless humans to ever live. He lit up every room he was in with laughter, smiles, and endless conversations about sports. Our hearts are heavy with grief and sadness but let us all remember Harold as the shining light he was. He loved his family and his church, where he served as a Deacon. We know he is happy with the Lord and healthy now.  We love you, Pa.  Harold was born December 18, 1937 to Bert and Edith Baldwin Evans. He served his country in the National Guard and worked many years in quality control traveling the world for some of the country's top sportswear companies. He leaves behind, to cherish his memory, his beloved wife of 63 years; Ruth Carpenter Evans, a daughter; Tammy (Don)Thornburg, a son, Harold (Trish) Evans, Jr.; One brother; Bobby Evans and a sister; Betty Marion. Grandchildren; Megan (Kurt) Wubbenhorst, Aaron (Erika) Evans, Matthew (Maria Fortunato) Thornburg and Brooke (Drew Cross) Evans.  Harold was preceded in death by his parents.
