Orange, California bids a fond farewell to Jeffrey Evans, a beloved husband, father, brother, and cherished friend, who passed away peacefully on December 17, 2023, at the age of 62. A proud resident of Orange for over three decades, Jeff built not only a successful business but also a rich life filled with laughter, generosity, and an unwavering devotion to his family and passions.

Born on October 2, 1961, Jeff grew up in Fullerton, California, where he cultivated a strong work ethic and a love for sports and community.

He was a proud graduate of Troy High School's class of 1979, continuing his education at Fullerton College and then at CSUF, laying the groundwork for a future defined by ambition and skill.

In 1989, Jeff channeled his expertise and entrepreneurial spirit into establishing Evans & Son Electric.

Under his dedicated leadership, the company flourished, becoming a testament to his commitment to quality and service. His business was more than just a livelihood; it was a cornerstone of his community, reflecting his integrity and strong character.

Beyond his professional achievements, Jeff's heart belonged to his family.

He shared a beautiful life with his devoted wife, Kathy, for 37 years. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Ryan and Lauren, who were the absolute lights of his life. Jeff was a truly exceptional husband and father, always present, always supportive, and always ready with a joke or a word of encouragement.

His boundless love extended to his dear mother, Delma, and his siblings, Karen DeWees (Mike) and Gary Evans (Linda). He was preceded in death by his sister, Cindy Evans, and will be lovingly remembered by his in-laws, Carol Stine, and Bob and Karen Stine, along with numerous nieces and nephews: Michael, Justin, Jessica, Kristin, Brian, Matt, Jenna, and Katie.

Jeff lived life to the fullest, embracing a wide array of hobbies that brought him immense joy.

An avid golfer, he found tranquility and camaraderie on the green. His passion for cars, especially Corvettes, was infectious; he reveled in attending car shows like Barrett-Jackson, appreciating the craftsmanship and power of classic automobiles. Classic rock concerts were another favorite pastime, where he could often be found singing along to his favorite tunes.

Whether it was camping under the stars, boating on a serene lake, or cheering on his beloved Chargers football team, Jeff approached every activity with enthusiasm and a contagious zest for life.

Those who knew Jeff will remember him for his big heart, quick wit, and generous spirit. He was the kind of friend and family member who was always there, offering support, a listening ear, or a much-needed laugh.

His presence brightened every room, and his humor was a gift he generously shared. Jeff’s legacy is one of unwavering kindness, deep loyalty, and the profound joy he brought to countless lives.
