Affectionately known as “Doc”, he was one of eight children born in Norway, SC, to the late Van Evans Sr. and Lydia Tyler Evans.

From small ponds to big lakes to rolling rivers, he was an avid fisherman who personalized his own fishing lures. Doc was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Van Evans Jr., Cliff Evans and Matthew Evans; sisters Flossie Mae Evans Wrenn, Corrine Evans Scott and Mattie Evans Kemp. Left to honor Doc and cherish his memory are sons Edward (Patricia) Hart and Melvin (Cakethia) Hart of Norway, SC; Roger (Cheryl) Tyler of Buffalo, NY; Reginald Tyler of Orlando, FL; and Landy (April) Tyler of Delaware; sister Mary Evans Mack of Hopkins, SC; grandchildren and great-grandchildren; special nieces Sharon Adams and Centeria Hill of Hopkins, SC, and a host of other nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews and lifelong friends who will miss him dearly.
