IN LOVING MEMORY OF RANDY JAY EVANS
JULY 28, 1959 - NOVEMBER 12TH, 2025
Randy Jay Evans passed away peacefully on the evening of Wednesday, November 12th,
2025 with his loving daughters by his side. After a sudden onset of serious health issues,
he faced each challenge with a fierce determination and strength that was uniquely his
own. He will be greatly missed by all who loved him.
Randy was born in Maryville, MO to Russell and Kathryn (Brown) Evans on Tuesday,
July 28th, 1959. He graduated from High School in Princeton, MO in 1977. Randy went on
to work a number of skilled inventory control positions. His journey led him to
Manhattan, Kansas where he spent the last decade of his professional life working for
Kansas State University in their facilities department. He played a vital role in
maintaining the campus and supporting its daily operations. He enjoyed sharing light
hearted witty humor with his coworkers, and also took pride in being a Wildcat. Randy
retired from K-State University in 2024.
Randy was a man who valued his routines, finding comfort and joy in the simple
rhythms of daily life. Some of his favorite hobbies included listening to music, reading,
and tuning in to Friday night high school and Saturday college football games on the
radio. Fall was especially meaningful to him, and he cherished the crisp, cold weather
that came with it. He was particularly fascinated by the migration of Canadian Geese.
While he enjoyed bird hunting earlier on in life, he later said that he no longer wished to
bring harm to the creatures. Instead, he found joy in watching them move across the
sky, their presence a reminder of the peaceful rhythms of nature.
Randy was preceded in death by his parents, Russell and Kathryn (Brown) Evans; sister
Jennifer Evans; and brother Allen Evans.
Randy is survived by his daughters, Kali Evans of Key Largo, Florida, and Haley Evans of
Belton, Missouri; granddaughters Kylee and Nora Bennett; grandson Jude Pineiro; and
great-grandson Niko Herbert. He is also survived by his sisters, Cheryl Fuston and
Kathy Jo Evans-Krull; his brothers, Rusty and Tony Evans; and many nieces and
nephews.
*Graveside service will be held at Fairley Cemetery in Princeton, Missouri, at 11:00
a.m. on Monday, December 22nd, followed by lunch at 1:00 p.m. at Toot-Toot Family
Restaurant & Lounge in Bethany, Missouri.
All are welcome to join, remember, and honor his life.
