John and I both started at "Belt Line" before ninth grade. We competed against each other for the same position in football, sometimes in the game at the same time. As a running back he was very fast and very quick. We also competed in track. We hung around each other a good bit in ninth and tenth grades. It is a shame that injuries cut short his sports career.

John was genuinely one of the really nice guys.  I enjoyed hanging around with him. Very good athlete and very fast.  If my memory serves me right John and David Cordell were the fastest guys in town.   I had to run a race against them both at a track meet. Gun went off I looked up as I came out of the blocks and all I see is their back sides immediately.   RIP John Evans

John was my roomate in college and was a groomsman in my wedding.  We had some fun times together over the years.  I will miss him.
