EVARTS, WILLIAM D.

On Thursday, February 13, 2020, William Drew Evarts passed away peacefully at the age of 62, surrounded by family.

Bill was born in Newark, NJ on August 5, 1957, son of the late Thomas and Catherine (Duffy) Evarts.  He graduated from Northside High School in Fort Smith, AR and then attended Tulane University in New Orleans and completed his BA at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. While working as a store manager for Target Corporation, Bill resided in Houston, TX; Atlanta, GA; and Tampa, FL; ultimately making his home in Nashua, NH.

To those who knew him, Bill was exceptionally dependable, always kept his word, and made sure the job was done right. His favorite things included spending time with his children and grandchildren, watching the Patriots win, primitive camping, family reunions in Cape Cod, creating elaborate haunted houses on Halloween, and being the neighborhood’s unofficial pool monitor. He loved crossword puzzles, grilling out, butter crunch ice cream, a well-made fire, and timeliness.

Bill was a loving father, grandfather, brother, and son. He is survived by his daughter and her husband, Rachael and Kamran Beikmohamadi; his son, Thomas Evarts; his grandchildren, Kian and Lyla Beikmohamadi; his siblings, Barbara Quinn, Frank Evarts, Edward Evarts, and Julie Grossman; his former wife and cherished friend, Erin Rosenbruch; his aunt, Agnes Duffy; and many loving nieces, nephews, and longtime friends.

If you told Bill he couldn’t do something, he was sure to do it. Bill was a fighter and always found a way. He fought every day to live his life on his own terms despite his MS. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The Bill Evarts Memorial fund can be found online at www.nationalmssociety.org/Donate.

His family will receive relatives and friends at the FARWELL FUNERAL HOME, 18 Lock Street, Nashua on Sunday, February 23rd from 12 to 2:30pm.  A celebration of life will be held afterwards for family and close friends. Please bring your Pat’s gear and a favorite memory of Bill. Arrangements are in the care of the FARWELL FUNERAL SERVICE. (603)882-0591. www.farwellfuneralservice.com

I am so sorry to hear about his passing - just recently I found out about his death. I took care of Bill as a caregiver years and years ago. The best thing I remember about him is his perseverance to be independent no matter how small the task. He was a great man and I remember him still. Blessings on his family.

Bill and I lost touch over the years, but we were fast friends in Houston when we worked together at JCPenney. We took numerous camping trips together and road trips to Fayetteville. He was Best Man at my wedding and I treasure his memory. Be with God, Billy

Bill was so welcoming to me when I was able to attend my only Evarts Family vacation. I will always remember his smile sitting on the beach in Harwich.

I will always remember Bill from his days in Fort Smith. Bill had lots of friends here and helped brighten our journey thru high school with his good humor and enjoyable way.
