Paul Michael Evans

January 28, 1958 - April 16, 2020

Chesapeake ~ Paul Michael Evans, age 62, a lifetime resident of Virginia Beach until recently, was welcomed into God’s loving hands on Thursday, April 16, 2020 after a brief battle with Leukemia. He was born on January 28, 1958, the son of Paul Robertson Evans, Jr., and Margaret Ruth McFarlane Evans Hinkle. He was preceded in death by his parents, stepfather, Burl Ellis Hinkle, brother, Ted Robert Evans and stepbrother, Nathan Burl Hinkle.

Mike was a milkman with Yoder Dairies until the business closed in 2008. He then delivered the Virginian-Pilot throughout the region but loved his route at the oceanfront the most. He also delivered local magazines and flyers to business on both the southside and the peninsula and most recently delivered pizzas at the oceanfront for North End Pizza. He knew the roads all around the area and took joy in telling you which way to go and which lane to be in, even if you already knew. He loved the Lord, family, friends, sports and his many cats.

He is survived by his children, Wendy Dedoming of Shelby, NC and her children, Adam, Danielle and Noah; Michael Evans of Elizabeth City and his children, Eleanor, Miles and Cooper; Mickey Evans of Norfolk; Stanley Evans (Raven) of Virginia Beach; and Samantha Blunt (Tyrone) of Chesapeake and her children, Zavier, Genesis and Bentley. He is also survived by his former wife, Florence Sealy (Frank) of Elizabeth City; nephews Ted Evans (Amity) of Virginia Beach and Tyler Evans of Norfolk; several cousins and many friends. The family wishes to thank Dr. Gauri Radkar and the nurses and staff at Virginia Oncology Associates for their dedicated care during this difficult time.

Amid the CoronaVirus pandemic, services will be private. Cremation Society of Virginia will be handling arrangements.

I was Paul's neighbor in the early 1990s and again in the early 2000s. We had many talks about the Lord and sports. He was one of the most positive people I know. His recall was amazing: I mentioned a Redskins-Falcons game which had happened 25 years ago - in 1978! - and he gave me details! I also played a lot of basketball and softball with Paul - he made some incredible shots wearing glasses! And of course, we went to church together. He was a godly man - I never heard him curse once! We both knew the power of God's forgiveness and I am sorry to learn of his passing. But I know he is in the hands of the Lord. Rest in peace, Paul. ❤

Go Rest High on that Mountain

I was saddened to learn of Mike’s passing. We grew up together with many good friends in a day and time where kids just left the home to find their friends and play. Not so many organized events as just times where kids had to figure out for themselves what they would be doing that day. Football games in the lot next to our church. Basketball games in Mike’s driveway. Baseball games at our local Woodstock Elementary School. And summer evenings just hanging out wondering what we would become some day. Always friendly, and one who seemed to get along with everyone, Mike was a solid friend. Ours paths took different routes and I lost touch with Mike. Seeing this notice of his passing brings me many fond memories, along with my prayer that Mike is in a better place today. Condolences to Mike’s family.

I am so saddened to hear of Mike's passing. I have so many fond memories of all of us kids growing up together as childhood friends in Westview. Those were wonderful times. My sincerest condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

I’m so sorry to hear about Mikes passing ..... my earliest childhood memories include Mike and Ted and always will. They were my next door neighbors growing up in Westview. We reconnected about a year or two ago on Facebook and it was great! Mike confided in me about his diagnosis and I had hoped to help more and now .......I know he is resting in heaven..... I feel blessed that I was able to reconnect with him 50? Years later ...... my thoughts and prayers go out to his family ......... RIP Mike

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I'm so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Mike & I were childhood friends growing up in the Westview Homes neighborhood. We had many good times together along with so many other neighborhood friends. We waited at the bus stop together many mornings. Years later, I reconnected with Mike & we were always glad to catch up with each other. Mike was always a happy, cheery person with a good outlook on life. I'm sorry to hear of your passing & I'll miss you, my friend!

I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. At least now he is at peace in the arms of his Savior. I will keep all of you in prayer for peace and comfort.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
