Allan Keith Evans

June 23, 1948 - August 6, 2020

Allan Keith Evans, 72, of Wesley Chapel Florida passed away on Thursday, August 6, 2020 at the Adventhealth Hospital in Tampa. Allan had been in a horrific car crash on June 2 and despite making remarkable progress toward recovery, he contracted Covid 19 while in a long-term care facility, which ultimately took him from us. We will be forever grateful to the angel of a nurse who was by his side as he passed. Born June 23, 1948 in Brooklyn, NY Allan grew up in Brooklyn and attended Abraham Lincoln High School. At the age of 17 Allan felt strongly about serving his country. He would leave high school early, and obtain his GED so that he could join the United States Army. Allan would serve his country proudly and with honor from June 20, 1966 until June 19, 1972. He spent the first 3 years of his enlistment, in Vietnam working in Army Intelligence. Allan received many medals, citations and commendations for his service, including the Bronze Star Medal. After completion of his service, Allan continued his life in Brooklyn, where his daughters Jennifer and Alison were born. Allan loved spending days at the beach and trips to Nathan’s in Coney Island. Putting his Army skills to use, Allan began working at Citibank, in 1969 as a telex operator, he held many different positions. Allan loved his job at Citibank (most of the time) and made many lifelong friends. Allan and his wife Maureen moved from Brooklyn to Staten Island, NY and then in 1996 relocated to Wesley Chapel, Florida while continuing to work for Citibank. Allan would retire as a Vice President at Citibank in 2005. Allan took to retirement as if it was his next job. Despite being the "concrete boy from Brooklyn" he took care of everything house related. He loved mowing his lawn, doing the landscaping taking care of the pool and pretty much everything domestic. He embraced all of the new technology, everyone in the family turned to Allan for help and he shared his knowledge with all. He truly was our tech guru. Allan is survived by his beloved wife of 34 years, Maureen Evans, by his loving daughters Jennifer Butchyk and husband Chris, and Alison Evans, and by his adoring grandchildren, Kyle, Hayley, Colin, and Dylan. Allan’s love of laughter and sense of humor doesn’t end with his death -it carries on in his wife, daughters & grandchildren. Allan had a fierce love for his family and did anything he could to protect us. He could make anyone laugh about anything. We will miss him terribly, but we also know he would want us to continue our lives with the same sense of humor and love of laughter that he showed us. A celebration of life will be held on August 29, 2020, between the hours of 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM at the Michael Hegarty & John Vincent Scalia Home for Funerals and Cremation Service, located at 3377 US Highway 9 Old Bridge, NJ 08857.
