Evans, the 48-year-old Chambers County native, is a 1990 graduate of Lanett High School and the son of Beverly Evans and Sandy Atkinson, Jr. He is also the father of Morgan Evans, Joshua Evans, and Noah Evans.

In 2002, Josh signed to play with the New York Jets, with whom he spent the last three seasons of his NFL career.

Evans, the small-town hero, spent many hours volunteering and providing sponsorship to his community. His life accomplishments, downfalls, and determination bestowed inspiration to all.
