    Mr. Evon was a great man. My dad Steve drove for him at Evon Trucking for years. I remember when I was little and came to the shop in Brewton that he would let me play in the truck while they talked and took care of the truck. I loved him to death. Even though I haven’t seen him in a long time, I just wanna say this brought tears to my eyes and memories that I will hold dear to my heart. Praying for the Mrs. Grace and family.,
