(13 June 1946 – 20 February 2005) It is our sad duty to inform friends and relatives, that after enduring numerous medical challenges since childhood, and ultimately “beating the odds” set for him, Billy Evans, at age 58, passed away Sunday evening, 20 February 2005 at the General Hospital, Sault Ste. Marie. His parents, Louise and Edgar Evans of Sault Ste. Marie, predeceased Billy in 1992 and 2000, respectively. He is survived by his loving sister, Ellen and brother in law Bernie Kinghorn, and children: Jamie, Alison Howden (Mick), Denize Yurko and Jonathan (Michelle), and grandchildren: Sheldon (Denise), Kris, Kyle, Mikey, Tyrone, Tyler and Connor all of Alberta. Family and friends are cordially invited to attend a farewell service at the Arthur Funeral Home & Cremation Centre, 492 Wellington E, Sault Ste. Marie on Thursday, 24th of February, 2005 from 2 pm until time of funeral service in the chapel at 3 pm. Mrs. Joy McPhee officiating. In recognition of Billy’s deep and abiding lifetime fascination for Harley motorcycles, later this spring, 13th of June, we are arranging for his ashes to be escorted by a cortege of Harleys to Old Greenwood Cemetery. At that time, Billy will be interred there alongside his parents and grandparents, at a special “Harley” graveside celebration of his life. In lieu of flowers, donations to Community Living Algoma or charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
