LACONIA ---- Daniel “Danny” Evans, 64, of Centenary Avenue, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 3, 2023, at home surrounded by loved ones.
Danny was born on June 9, 1959, in Boston, MA, the son of William Evans and Marguerite (Wyman) Evans. He started spending summers in Weirs Beach when he was 8 years old and called it home in 2000. He was very much loved in his neighborhood and his porch was known as the “catch all.” He loved all of his neighbors and would show his affection often times with four letter words to include the occasional use of love.
Danny spent most of his years as a truck driver and would wander the country with his dog, Cheyenne. You may have known him locally helping you with an occasional tow from Bertocchi & Son Towing. Danny started his battle with cancer in 2017 and was motivated by his grandchildren, Will and Averie, to never give up. He was his stubborn self through the whole process and lived to see many more years with his family than expected. Danny will forever be missed by his friends and family.
He is survived by his wife, Cindy (Leroux) Evans; sons, Matt Evans, Justin Evans and Peter Evans; stepchildren, Samantha Stillings, Travis Stillings, and Rebecca Lavoie; grandchildren, William Evans and Averie Lavoie; sister, Dianne Evans Vercammen and her husband Richard; and niece and nephew, Ricky and Rebecca Vercammen.
There will be no calling hours.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring of 2024.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in Danny’s memory to the NH Humane Society, PO Box 572, Laconia, NH 03247.
