The family of Patrick Evans has invited the Patriot Guard to be with them as they say a final Good-bye to their hero at Riverside National Cemetery and we are proud to do so.

Patrick was a Navy veteran who was proud of his service on the USS Mattaponi and USS Ranger during the Vietnam War. During his time in service (67-71 and 73-75) he attained the rating of Damage Controlman 2nd Class (E-5).

Patrick is survived by his wife, Linda; daughter Connie; son Donald; Mother Phyllis Evans; sisters Sandra Lidbom, Therese Warner, Mary Franklin and Kathie Wosika; brothers Robert and Daniel. Additionally he has 5 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.
