My condolences to the Evans family. I shall miss your dad. I have known Albert Joe since our days at Wheatley Elementary. His infectious smile and low voice. Nothing will ever replace your father in your life but you can take solace on the fact that while he was in your life he performed the job of dad with honors. You are proof of the excellent job and the influence he had on your life. As you go forward never forget who he was and how he loved you and his grandchildren. It has been an honor for me to have had such and individual in my life for so long. Here’s to Albert Joe, father, grandfather, classmate, and above all friend. Class of 1971 forever.
Our deepest condolences to all of the family. May God be with you through this difficult time. Linda Hobdy my prayers go out to you and your family.

My condolences to the Evans Family
May you all find comfort from “The God of Comfort” Jehovah. Give him a chance!
The Bible reveals that it is God’s purpose to restore the dead to life by means of a resurrection to a paradise earth, where sickness and death will be no more. Jesus said: “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”—John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:1-4.
When speaking of his recently deceased friend Lazarus, Jesus compared death to sleep. (John 11:11-13) Moreover, after Jesus resurrected him, Lazarus said nothing about having been in a place of torment or a place of bliss during the brief period of his death. (John 11:37-44) This is understandable, for the dead are unconscious. They do not experience suffering but await the “hour” in which they will be raised. In any event, the fact that Jesus resurrected Lazarus shows that the dead can live again. Indeed, by this miracle Jesus showed on a small scale what will take place on earth under the rule of God’s Kingdom. (Acts 24:15) What a comfort that is for those who lose their loved ones in death during this turbulent time!
I am so sorry for your loss, please know I am praying for the family.
My prayers and deepest condolences to the family and friends. May God encamp his angels around you all. I’m so sorry for your lost.

How my heart breaks for all of you. What a precious Dad you had that was so incredibly proud of all of you. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Treasure the memories and know that his legacy will continue through each of your lives. Love you.

To the Evans family. You have our Deepest sympathy on the loss of Albert Joe. May you find peace and solace in the coming days that he is at peace in God’s arms. Stay strong in your faith.
May you RIP my Langston University Offensive guard. I always knew when I ran behind you more holes open up more than often. I watch your son when I went to my Cousin Steve Mays Jr High school football game at Pearland and for many years after he finished and went to UofH to play finally realized that that young man running the ball was your son. I remember how you walked and your son walked just like you. I always said you should have been a running back at Langston. I’m glad we got a chance to talk on the phone several time in the last 5 years. I’ve sent out notices of your passing to other Langston Lions Football teammates inculding Thomas Hollywood Henderson former Dallas Cowboys who was also heartbroken upon hearing the news. To the family your in my thoughts and prayers.John”GOODTIME” Goodie (LU Fullback) Baltimore Colts 1975 Phoenix Arizona.
