Funeral services for Thomas will be held at Temple Baptist Church, Sunday, August 29, 2021 in Ruston, LA., with Dr. Reggie Bridges officiating.Visitation is from 1:00pm to 2:00 pm with service following at 2:00pm to 3:00pm.
Thomas was born March 6, 1960 in Jacksonville, FL. From an early age, Thomas loved sports and hunting deer, squirrel, dove, as well as fishing, though his truest passion has always been duck hunting. Thomas’s passion for helping others led to a life geared toward serving his community, which led to his desire to become a soft skills trainer. This culminated in his ultimate goal and eventual accomplishment of owning his own training company, Training Logic, Inc. located in Ruston. He often ended conversations with “It is an honor to serve.” He has always been a loving husband, father, and friend to all.
Preceding him in death are his parents, James Edward Evans and Zelia Faye Evans. He leaves behind his wife of 32 years, Denise Erwin Evans; his children Pamela Nicole Evans (Delhi, LA); Timothy Edward Evans and his wife, Holli (Katy, TX); Brooke Elaine Evans (Boulder, CO); Brother DeWayne Evans and his wife Terri; Brother Sam Bowen and his wife Becky; 7 grandchildren and one great grand-daughter on the way.

I knew Thomas through my Willamette days, and more recently through his own training company. Thomas was always positive and upbeat. I can just hear him saying "have fun!" as he walked out the door. My prayers are with his loved ones.

I went to LA TECH with T-Eddy and Dewayne back in the early 80s. T-Eddy was always a kind person and positive. Yes, he always loved to hunt. Truly sorry to all his family for this lost. Please be comforted that you will see him again.

Thomas was such a special addition to our family. He always had a joke, a magic trick, and a kind word. He always made me feel at home even if we had not seen each other in years. He is truly missed and has left a void in this world.

My favorite memories will always be a Friday evening campsite — helping get everything set up—all the time looking for the Evans family truck camper—waiting for Dad and Moms approval of set up— then is when the weekend adventure started—Go find T-Eddie and Dwayne and a creek -a pond- a lake ( a qualification of good campsite!)—-Rest in peace T-Eddie and may God shed his Grace on your family at this time——John Reedy

I only knew Thomas across two years. We shared numerous emails and phone calls and finally met in person just a few months ago. Thomas came across as a man of high character, transparency, intelligence, and much caring---for his family, friends, employees, and customers. I'm fortunate to have known him. I'm so grateful to the Lord that he was a Christian and we know where he is today—and it will be good to see him again. I pray God's continued grace for Denise and family.

Thomas was a great friend and mentor! His love for serving people was always evident in his actions as he taught others how to lead through his organization. There are usually only a few people in your lifetime that you can truly call a close friend and mentor and Thomas was one of those folks in my life. Thanks Thomas for your friendship to me and my family we will miss you.

Thomas, or as we called him “T-Eddy”, was the first kid I met when my family moved to Springfield, VA, in 1965. He welcomed me to the neighborhood and made this 5 year old feel right at home. I considered him my best friend. I lost track of him for many years, but finally re-connected with him in the weeks leading up to our 40th High School Class Reunion back in 2018. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. R.I.P, T-Eddy.
