Daniel R. Evans, age 83, of Plymouth, passed away on Saturday, April 19, 2025. He was the husband of the late Ann (Hommel) Evans.
Born in Boston and raised in Randolph, he was the son of the late Fred and Julia Evans. He graduated from Brockton Trade School where he learned the skills to be a machinist.
