John Allen Evans passed peacefully on May 6, 2026, at his home in Lawton, with his loving wife by his side.

John was born on May 1, 1937, to Reginald and Neva (Harrison) Evans in Woodville, Texas. As the oldest of three brothers, his leadership qualities began developing at an early age. Following his college graduation, John proudly served in the United States Army for 22 years, retiring with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

After his distinguished military career, John continued his dedication to service through his work with Telos, where he retired after another 20 years of employment. He was an active and proud member of numerous clubs and organizations, including Lions Clubs International, Arts for All, Military Order of the World Wars, and Over the Hill Gang.

On October 24, 1959, John married the love of his life, Nancy Carolyn Green. Together they shared 66 wonderful years of marriage filled with love, devotion, and family. John found joy in classical music, talk radio, and woodworking, hobbies that reflected both his thoughtful nature and creative spirit.

John is survived by his beloved wife, Nancy Evans; his four sons and their wives, John Michael, Glen A., Robert Mark, and Keven E.; two grandsons, Christopher A. and Lorenzo T.; three great-grandsons, Ronan A., Tiernan A., and Ian Q.; and his brother, Earl Evans, and his wife.
