JOSHUA D. EVANS
Joshua D. Evans, age 32 of Batesville, died Monday, November 16, 2020. Born September 10, 1988, in Shelby, Ohio, he is the son of Jane (Nee: Studer) Gartenman and Brian Evans. He married Sarah Nobbe June 1, 2013, at St. Maurice Church in St. Maurice, Indiana and was a supervisor for the Greensburg Honda plant.
Although Josh was passionate about many things, none were more important than his children. He dearly loved spending time with them. According to his family, he was also a huge Dallas Cowboys and Ohio State Buckeyes fan, liked all things Scooby Doo related, an avid video gamer and quite a movie buff. The family enjoyed regular movie nights with a big bowl of popcorn, and more than 2,000 movies in their collection to select from. Elvis Presley’s Girls, Girls, Girls and Caddyshack were among his favorites as well as being a fan of Mel Brooks. They also indicated he loved food and was always trying something new or different … although his favorite meal was soup of any kind.
Josh is survived by his wife Sarah; daughters Karli and Keeley Evans; sons Jaxson and Wyatt Evans; mother and step father Jane and Chuck Gartenman of Brookville; father Brian Evans of Omaha, Nebraska; sister Megan (Danny) Rivera of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; brothers Adam (Michael) Evans of Elon, North Carolina, Grant (Kaylee) Evans of Peach Tree Corners, Georgia; maternal grandparents Irma and Vincent Studer of Shelby, Ohio as well as numerous nieces and nephews. A private visitation will be held followed by funeral services at St. Catherine of Siena St. Maurice Campus with Rev. Bill Ehalt officiating and burial in the church cemetery. The family requests memorials to the Evans Children Education Fund or Phi Beta Psi Sorority Cancer Research and can be sent to the funeral home (P.O. Box 36, Batesville, Indiana, 47006) in care of the family.
