SPC. WILLIAM “BILL” EVANS

Specialist William “Bill” Evans, 22, Hallstead, PA went to be with the Lord on September 19, 2005, in Ar Ramadi, Iraq as a result of injuries sustained in the Iraq Theater.

He was predeceased by his grandparents, Doris and Ed Evans, by Earl Thomas Moore, Jr., and by his best friend, William Jasper Burchell.

Bill attended South New Milford Baptist Church. He loved the Lord. He also loved hunting, photography and working with special needs people. He was a Specialist in the US Army National Guard and was awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. He fought for what he believed in – God and his country and freedom for all. Bill will be deeply missed by his family and many, many friends.
