Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours.
Now and for ever.
Amen.
Willis Evans, Jr. September 29,1927 to June 21, 2012
Willis was born in Crockett, TX, and joined the US Navy at the age of 17, just as WWII was ending. During his enlistment he was a Sea Bee and was a member of the 103rd Construction Battalion. He returned to the US after his tour, and became a Police Officer Lieutenant for the city of South Houston. He was a Mason and an avid bowler, and was inducted into the Southern Bowling Hall of Fame. He was a member of Ashbury Methodist Church. He claims his proudest moment was marrying his wife of 61 yrs. He was preceded in death by his wife, Juanita Evans, and is survived by his five children, four grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.
