Immediately after NASCAR officials informed the competitors of the Whelen Modified Tour that the Twin 100s at Thompson had been postponed; Reverend Don Rivers stunned those in attendance with the news. 'About twenty minutes ago, Reverend Pat Evans went home to be with the Lord.' Reverend Dan Petfield made a similar announcement to the Busch North Series competitors.

Rev. Pat was laid to rest with full military honors in Griswold Cemetery on Thursday, June 16th. Both the wake and the service brought many people forward to share their memories of how Pat touched their lives. Many told of the respect they had for Pat for knowing what he believed and being passionate about communicating the Good News of the Gospel. I think Pat would have been humbled by the outpouring of feelings toward him.

Pat was a dedicated servant of our Lord. As we continue to remember Pat, please be in prayer for his family, Betty, Rob and his wife Wendy, Cheryl and her husband Brian and his grandson Josh.
