Bruce Everett Evans, Sr., 76, of Rocky Point passed peacefully from his earthly life on Wednesday, December 24, 2014 at his home.

He was born June 5, 1938 in Union Level, Virginia to the late Robert Adolph and Mamie Mae Layne Evans. Bruce was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 57 years, Carolyn Caddell Evans, infant son; four brothers; and two sisters.

Bruce is survived by his son, Bruce "Sonny" Evans, Jr. (Sharon); daughter, Beverly Westbrook (Gene); grandchildren, Michael Ray Evans, Brandon Evans, Randy Westbrook, Wesley Westbrook, Alan Westbrook, Carrie Westbrook, and Meghan Potter; seven great grandchildren; sisters, Rosa Jones and Helen Tucker; and many nieces and nephews.

Bruce served his country honorably in the US Army and was retired from All Carolina Crane.

Bruce was a devoted husband and caring father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Being a hard and diligent worker he always provided for and took good care of his family. For enjoyment, when time permitted, he loved fishing and tinkering on old cars. The passing of both Carolyn and Bruce just one month apart leaves a huge void in the lives of their family. Bruce, a kind, thoughtful and gentle soul, will be greatly missed.

The family will receive friends at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 28, 2014 at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home Burgaw Chapel followed by the funeral service at 2:00 p.m. with the Rev. Dean Walker officiating. Burial will follow in Riverview Memorial Park.
