Obituary:
Norman Bruce Evans was born on September 13, 1950, in Wellsboro, PA to Norman and June Evans.
He was born and raised in New York, Ohio, and New Jersey. He went into the Marine Corp in October 1967 at age 17. He did two tours in Vietnam and got out in October of 1971.
Bruce had some issues but overcame them. He worked in the oil field on gas wells for 23 years as a derrick hand and driller.
Bruce is survived by his wife Cindy of the home, one son Josh, two daughters Annie and Brenda, his mother June, four grandsons, his stepson Kevin, one step grandson and three step granddaughters, sisters Carol (Ted) of New York, Sherri of New York, Lisa of Ohio, and Debbie of New York, one brother Rick of Nevada, and many nieces and nephews.
Bruce loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, camping, fires, and exploring new places. He loved himself after he quit drinking almost 6 years. He gave his heart to Jesus and thanked Jesus daily for his many blessings. He had a hard exterior, but a soft giving heart and he helped who he could, when he could without hesitation.
Bruce is preceded in death by his father Norman Evans, stepdad Dick Denhoff, and son Ricky as well as many others.
While most people did not understand him, he could always depend on Cindy. He loved family and would protect them as much as possible.
Bruce’s favorite scripture was Psalms 23.
