Obituary

Huey Clinton Evans transitioned from the earth on Friday, May 5, 2023. Huey was born to his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Huey and Virginia Dare (Whitehead) Evans on August 20, 1949. He was the third of six children created by this union.

Huey married the love of his life Annie Lee Sims and their union lasted 46 years, until his death. Huey enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, cooking, and talking about his faith in Jesus Christ.

At an early age, Huey dedicated his life to Christ and became a member of Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church.  He remained an active and dedicated member of Jerusalem serving the Lord as a musician (guitar and drums), lead singer, President of the choir and male chorus.

Huey entered the workforce at an early age as a school bus driver while attending high school. After graduating from Pilate High School, Huey attended college at Alcorn State University.  He was employed at La-Z-Boy for 40 years.

After retirement, Huey poured his energy into his family and gardening. With the help of his special friends and family, Huey became known for "Newton's Finest Watermelons" by growing some of the largest watermelons which was featured in the local news.

Huey leaves to cherish his memories: a loving and caring best friend and wife, Annie Lee Evans, sons Jeffrey Evans of Newton, MS, Tory Evans (Elmira) of Hattiesburg, MS, Tarrus Evans of Lawrence, MS; daughter Tawny Evans McCleon of Decatur, MS, brothers Julius Evans of New Orleans, LA, Dwayne Evans of Newton, MS, sisters Minister Bobby Price of Newton, MS, Wortly Cager (Levelle) of Union, MS, grandchildren, Corey Evans, Evan Hampton, Talyiah Wiley, Nazaret Evans, Ta'Nyla Evans, Taylor Evans Tavaris Evans, and Morgan Evans, a host of nieces, nephew, cousins, and friends.
