Georgetown: Owen Moore Evans, 88, died March 23, 2014, at his home. Mr. Evans was born in Henderson, N.C. on October 17, 1925, a son of the late Owen Davis Evans and Dorothy Evans Slocum. He was a former Vice President of People's Trust Company in Rock Hill. Mr. Evans was a member of Duncan Memorial United Methodist Church. He graduated from Furman University and proudly served his country in World War II. One of Owen's fondest memories was being reunited with his older brother, Harold, while serving overseas in Italy. During a Christmas party in 1979, Owen met the love of his life, Linda, and in July, 1980, they were married. This second chance at life began on their cattle farm in Rock Hill. Owen cherished life on the farm and spending time with his family. After many years of hard work as a farmer, business man, devoted husband and father, he was due for retirement at the beach. In 1994, Owen and his family moved to Georgetown. Owen was a true Southern gentleman and was always eager to regale you with a story, even if you already knew it by heart. He loved spending time with his family and considered his children life's greatest accomplishment. Owen's soft spoken demeanor, sharp intellect, and his warm presence will be missed by all. Surviving are: his wife, Linda Duncan Evans of Georgetown; a daughter, Courtenay Evans Givens (Dean) of Columbia; a son, Owen M. Evans, II of Fort Mill; two granddaughters, Hayden Moore Givens and Grayson Charlotte Givens, both of Columbia; a sister-in-law, Jeanne Evans of Chattanooga, Tenn.; and a brother-in-law, Ronald Duncan, of Greer. Mr. Evans was predeceased by: his first wife, Sarah West Evans of Kershaw; and two brothers, John "Jack" Evans of Chattanooga, Tenn. and Harold Evans of Hickory, N.C. Memorial services will be held at two o'clock on Tuesday, March 25, 2014, at Duncan Memorial United Methodist Church. Officiating will be the Rev. Dr. Dora Gafford. Burial will take place at Pennyroyal Memorial Gardens at one o'clock.
