Hershell Allen Evans

Hershell Allen Evans was born on September 17th, 1965 to James O. and Alma Lee Evans in Ardmore, OK.  Hershell passed away on August 6th, 2024 from natural causes in Tecumseh, OK.  He is preceeded in death by his parents, a brother Carl Evans and a nephew E.C. Lawson.

Hershell is survived by his two sons, Jacob and Asa Evans of Roseville, CA, a sister Donna Jones of Thackerville, OK, a sister Tina Lawson of Wilburton, OK, a sister Jane Evans of Wichita Falls, TX, a brother James “Jimbo” Evans (and Tammy) of Anahuac, TX, a brother Larry Evans of Tecumseh, OK, numerous nieces, nephews, cousin and hundreds of pipeline family/friends.

Anyone who knew Hershell could tell you just how much he loved working in the pipeline industry.  He was truly a talented pipeliner and known in the industry for bringing a toolbox of vast experience to overcome just about any obstacle you could encounter when he joined a project team.  He and his brothers traveled the country together in their younger years working on many projects together and he was also able to work with his eldest son and many nieces and nephews in recent years.  He was a mentor to many young pipeliners, too many to mention by name.  He was proud to share his knowledge to help advance those workers that were willing to learn. 

The outpouring of love and prayers our family has received upon learning of Hershell’s passing is a testament to the many lives he touched and how deeply he was loved.  He will be missed!

The family will share details for a celebration of life memorial once plans are finalized.  This will most likely be held in Texas in mid-September 2024.
