My prayers are with the Evans family. I worked with Charles during the mid '90s at the MSFC on Redstone Arsenal. He was a wonderful person to know and be around. I will cherish all the jokes and laughs we had when he visited our area of the HOSC. 

I want to send my deepest condolences to the Charles Evans, Sr. family for the loss of their husband, father, and grandfather.  Mr. Evans was a good man and we shared many conversations during church services at the Bicentennial Chapel on many occasions, which we all enjoyed.  Prior to that while growing up on Redstone Arsenal, he was the "big" father of one of my good friend, Charles, Jr., that we often turned to for guidance and coaching advice.  Recently, my family lost our father, so I understand what your family is going through at this time.  Stay strong and remember the good times that you all shared throughout your lives.  The good memories never go away.  Peach and Blessing!

Charles Evans Sr, lovingly known to me as Uncle Sonny, will remain a legend in our hearts. There are too many fond memories to share. However, one is more vivid than the others. I remember when he made me, his scrawny 7-year old niece, wake up at 7 am on a Saturday. Not one to hold a question, I asked why I had to get up early. He said that his kids had to get up early to get the day started; and since I was at his house, I did, too. No one questioned Uncle Sonny; so, I got up and tried to figure out what I could do. I spent about ten minutes following him around, talking his ear off. Soon enough, he told me to go back to bed. Uncle Sonny was incredibly kind, extremely funny, and immeasurably witty. Rest well!

With deepest sympathy.  May the Lord bless you and keep you in His care.

With Caring Sympathy in the Loss of Your Husband.  With God, love lives forever.    In time, may the special memories of all you shared with your loved one fill your heart and bring you peace.

My condolences to Mrs. Eula Evans and the family. I met the Evans while we were bowling on the Sue Koster Senior Bowling League on Mondays prior to the pandemic. They were a very warm and friendly couple. My prayers to the family.

I would always get excited when my Mother said Uncle Sony & Aunt Eula were coming to Tn and even more excited the time my Mom, me and my sister stayed with my Uncle & Aunt. I enjoyed being there with my cousins as well, and I still laugh when me & my cousin Sonia used to try and sneak out but the only way down was through the bedroom window on the ledge and landing in the big pool below, so that foiled those plans. I remember how Uncle Sony would talk to me and ask me if I was ok. I knew my uncle as a strong Man, that had a home and family full of love and stability. He put God first and always took care of Aunt Eula and his children. I always felt love & comfort at their home when I was there. In life we never want to lose the people we love, you will be greatly missed Uncle Sony. And your legacy will live on. 
My condolences and prayers to the family. May God hold you in his arms, it’s ok to cry, it’s ok to grieve any way you need to, and know that Uncle Sony was a great man a honorable man who loved his whole family. May you rest I’m peace Uncle Sony. Love your niece Julie Renee

My  condolences to the Evans family, my God be with you.

Eula and family,
Jeanie and I offer our sincere condolences on the passing of   Charles.   He was a great friend, confident and fellow soldier.  He set the example. Always. His integrity was unquestioned by all who came to know him. He lived his beliefs day in and day out. Always the same. Always dependable. I treasure having known him and having called him friend. We learned from each other in those days at the 563rd but his support of our shared mission never wavered.  He was inspiring to so many young soldiers who, because of his counsel and support, went on to become successful soldiers and are a reflection of who he was. May you and the entire family take comfort in a life well lived.

Dear and Precious Sister Eula,

Harry and I give our heartfelt condolences to you and all of your loved ones. We are so very sorry for the pain you are experiencing as you miss the physical company of our dear Brother Charles. You continue in our hearts and prayers as well as the prayers of your Bicentennial Chapel Family! ❤️

Brother Harry & Sister Erica

To Eula and family, please know that Marilyn and I are thinking about all of you and praying that God may bring comfort to you all.
SGM Evans was such a shining light in so many of our lives.  He was "our First Sergeant".  He was our leader.  He kept us motivated and disciplined, he kept the 563rs Ord Co (Nickel-Six-Tre) strong and as a result, the 563rd Ord Co was a well respected company in Germany.  So many of our military careers was a success as a result of SGM Evans.  Although he achieved the well deserved rank of Sergeant Major, he will always be my "First Sergeant".  As Milk said, we affectionately called him "Watashi".   Thank you for touching our lives.  May God bless and and keep you,  Rest in Peace Sergeant Major.  Love Ted & Marilyn
 

Shelia and I send our deepest condolences to the SGM (R) Charles Evans Family.  Charles and I grew up in the same church (Price Memorial A.M.E Zion church) in Cleveland, TN.  Charles and I also were brothers-in-arms together.  I will miss our conversations about our hometown.  SGM Evans fought a good fight and now it's time for a well deserved rest.

To Eula and the Evans family. On behalf of the Williams family, I would like to express our deepest sympathy to the family of Sergeant Major Charles Henry Evans. I feel so fortunate to have talked to him just 2 weeks ago and he sounded so good, and we laughed. He had such an impact on the lives of so many soldiers during such a stellar career. He was a mentor to our group and held our feet to the fire because he honestly believed in us. We achieved ranks of Chief Warrant Officer 5, Chief Warrant Officer 4, Sergeant Majors and First Sergeants; he did good. I am sure so many more reached the highest leadership positions. We affectionately called him “Watashi,” the simple meaning of Watashi is “I” Yes it was him. Rest in Peace Sergeant Major. With love from us all, Buttermilk & Beverly.

Eula and family.  We are sorry about loss of Charles.  I know that you loved him very much.  May God comfort you and family and the peace of Jesus sustained you. It was nice to see him at Mamie’s birthday last month.  Remember God’s purpose for the family to keep loving one another and stay bonded through Jesus.  May God continue to bless and keep you.  Love Linda & Gene (your brother.)

To Eula and rest of family me and Charles go a long way back one of my closest and best friends he will truly be missed . We had so much fun at our golf outings a time I'll always cherish. To the Evans family I give my heart felt fcondolences . May God keep you and family Blessed 🙏🙏🙏

To Eula & family, may you receive comfort in your time of need  knowing that your loved one is in heaven with God. May you  and your family be forever blessed.  Love you,  Earl & Julia Hobbs!!!

Charles Evans is by far the best 1SGT I've had in my 20+ years in the Army. When I my mind starts wandering back to my days in the military, memories of 1SGT Evans and the rest of the gang at the 563rd always put a smile on my face. Rest in peace TOP. You're the best. 

Sgt Major Evans was my 1SGT when I arrived in Germany in 1984, always willing to help a soldier with any given task, can never forget his high posture while in formation.  Rest In Peace TOP. 

My very first First Sergeant in Wiesbaden, he was a good guy, funny and always fair to soldiers. He sure enjoyed the liquid lunch bunch gang. 

To Eula and Children, we the members of the Old-timers Social Club was deeply heartbroken to hear about your loss. You have our deepest and heartfelt sympathy.  We can’t imagine the pain that your hearts are feeling right now.  Charles was one of our founders, most dedicated and hard working member of our club. We are praying that God's LOVE and Healing Grace be with you all in this time of need. You are in our thoughts and prayers.  May God Bless each of you and may Peace and Comfort be with you now and always.
The Members of the Old-timers  Social Club
