Cale Evins

Cale Lewis Evins, 12, of Oakley, died Wednesday, September 25, 2019. He was born January 6, 2007, in Great Bend, KS, to J.L. and Carrie (George) Evins. Cale was an active young man and enjoyed playing with friends and participating in soccer, baseball and football. He loved camping, hiking and summer weekends at the lake on the boat and fancied himself as quite the knee boarder, tuber along with any other water sports. He also had a passion for fishing, hunting deer, turkey, dove, waterfowl, prairie dogs or any other hunting or fishing activity he and his dad could think of. He proudly shot the “deer of a lifetime” at the age of 10 upon which he announced “I like to shoot my rifle and eat deer meat”. Cale enjoyed Legos, flying his drone, playing Minecraft and riding his hover board shoes. He loved to travel and recently asked if he could go to Washington D.C. again this summer. He had the purest of hearts having never met a stranger and could bring a smile to anyone he came across and could keep everyone laughing with his endless jokes and personality. He attended St. Joseph Grade School and Oakley Middle School.

He is loved and survived by his parents and sisters, Avery and Emma Evins, of the home; exchange sister, Ana Fernandez Cabrera, of Malaga, Spain; grandparents, Lewis and Audrey Evins, of Oakley, Mary George, of Oakley and Roy George, of Manchester, OK; great grandmother Edna Roesener, of Bird City, KS; aunt Amanda (Jeff) Tauscher, Shawnee, KS; uncle Eric George, Lamar, CO; cousins Justin George of Byron, OK and Addison and Finley Tauscher of Shawnee KS; along with many more aunts and uncles, extended family and friends. All of whom will greatly miss him.
