DUSTIN “JEB” EVANS

WEST VIRGINIA — Dustin “Jeb” Evans, 27, of Fort Gay, WV, a beloved son, brother and uncle, passed away Thursday, Aug. 13.

Born July 16, 1999, in Huntington, WV, he was a beacon of light and warmth that radiated to everyone fortunate enough to be in his presence. A man of many passions, Dustin found joy in the simple pleasures of life, which included his love for riding side by sides and 4-wheelers, hunting, fishing and football. He played with immense vigor, wearing the #64 jersey for Tolsia High School, and his supportive and thoughtful nature ensured that he was not just a teammate, but a true brother to all.

Jeb’s career was marked by his dedication and hard work. He was employed as a foreman at Five Star Electric. However, what mattered most to him were not the accolades or accomplishments, but the people in his life- his family and friends. His affinity for his loved ones was palpable, his love for them as clear as a mountain stream. His mother, Melissa “Missy” Evans; sisters, Maddison Evans and Hannah Evans; nephew, Railson Evans and niece, Roper Evans; his grandparents, Christine and Jim Evans and Cora Finley, survive him and will forever cherish the memories they made with him. He is also survived by aunts and uncles Gary and Kim Collie, Crystal Finley and Phil Copley; cousins, Jace Jackson, J.B. and Erin Collie, Tanner and Tristan Collie, Hayley Collie, Cole and Sierra Collie, Brixton Collie, Branton Collie, Hunter Collie, Toni Farley, and Cody Copley; and a host of great aunts, uncles and special friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert “Robbie” Evans; his grandfathers, Joe Finley and Mutt Copley; and his step-father, John Carey.

Funeral services were 1 p.m., Monday, Aug. 17, at Young Funeral Home Chapel with James Maynard and Josh Pack officiating. Burial was in Frasher Cemetery, Fort Gay. Services under direction of Young Funeral Home, Louisa.
