Steven Evans

Steven Evans, 82, of Gillett, PA, passed away peacefully on October 8, 2026. Steven was born on October 7, 1944, to the late Arthur and Ruth (Simones) Evans in Oneonta, NY, living a life marked by dedication, passion, and love for his family and the outdoors.

Steven devoted many years to his work as an electrician at Anchor Glass (Elmira), where he served faithfully until his retirement. A mountain man at heart, he cherished all things related to the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting and firearms and was known to attend the black powder rendezvous whenever he was able. In quieter moments, Steven delighted in tinkering with model cars, planes, and especially his beloved model trains. Above all else, he treasured his family and the precious memories they shared.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife, Shirley J. (Sayres) Evans; and his brother, Eugene Evans. He is survived by his son, Steven (Tina) Evans; daughter, Christine (George) Chilson; grandchildren Steven Evans II, Samantha (David) Sullivan, Sierra (Kevin) Lewis, Syrus Evans, Mistie (Cy) McKee, Autumn Fish, and George Chilson, Jr.; as well as twelve great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind his brother, Arthur Evans, Jr and sisters, Gladys (Tom) Weeks and Debbie Evans (Rand Marshall).

In keeping with Steven’s wishes, services will be private and held at the convenience of the family. He will be laid to rest beside his loving wife Shirley in Hanlon Hill Cemetery.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Roberts Funeral Home, 297 Main St, Wellsburg, NY. The family welcomes condolences and fond memories to be shared at www.robertsfhinc.com. In lieu of flowers, donations in Steven’s honor may be made to a charitable organization of your choosing.
