Barry J. Evans, devoted husband and father, met our loving Savior on April 25, 2026, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Barry was born on June 9, 1974, in Savannah, Ga., and grew up in Statesboro, Ga.

He is a 1992 graduate of Statesboro High School.

Barry was always known as a very hard worker and provider for his family. In addition to farming and working at Ellis Wood Contracting, he worked with Preferred Site Construction for over 13 years.

Barry has always been known for his strong faith and love for God. His faith in Jesus was most evident in his battle with cancer over the past three years.

Barry was an avid hunter and fisherman and loved sharing in those hobbies with his two sons, Garrett and Braylon. He loved going to the river and the lake and was always so grateful for the special memories he made with his family and friends. He loved being at home and listening to music, spending time at his shop and being with friends.

He and his wife, Crystal, spent many fun days at the ballfield watching their sons play sports. Barry was always so proud of his boys and was always there to support them in all of their sports and activities.

He cherished each day and loved his family deeply. He always told his boys to love people and always be thankful for all of life’s blessings.

Barry was preceded in death by his grandparents, Morgan and Jewell Deal; and his mother, Debi Deal Coleman.

He is survived by his loving wife of 23 years, Crystal Garrett Evans; and his twin sons, Garrett Evans and Braylon Evans; his mother-in-law and father-in-law, Betty and Ralph Garrett; and two brothers, Bryan Evans (Kayla) and Chris Lewis (Sarah); his uncle, Steve Deal (Roxanne); and several nieces and nephews.
