Howard Edward "Eddie" Evans

Howard Edward (Eddie) Evans, age 69, transitioned to a pain-free life on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, in Athens, AL.

Eddie is survived by his son, Jacob (Megan); grandsons, Eli and Ezra; his mother, Virginia Winters Evans; siblings, Carol Ann, Barry (Robin), and Carla Sue (Kevin); and many beloved nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Jack Howard Evans.

A graduate of Rockwood High School, Class of 1975, Eddie devoted more than 40 years of his career to TVA — and when the workday was done, there was no question where you'd find him. The golf course was his happy place, and he was rarely far from it. Those who knew Eddie knew him as the life of every room he walked into, and his warmth, humor, and spirit left a mark on everyone lucky enough to share his company.

In keeping with the way he lived, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
