Donald Paul Evans, 73, of Pleasant Hill, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, February 6, 2017, at his residence.  He was born December 8, 1943, in Piqua, to the late Paul W. and Edna L. (Laughman) Evans.

Don will be missed and remembered by his loving wife of 49 years, Arlene K.

Donald was a retired farmer, having farmed in Miami County for over 50 years.  He was a member of the Potsdam Church of the Brethren.  Don never knew a stranger and was blessed with many friends.  He was a devoted family man, and especially enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.  He was always looking to make others laugh, and was seen as a second father or grandfather by many.
