Obituary For Stacy T. Evans

OBITUARY

Life Story of Stacy Travis Evans. Jr.

Mr. Stacy Travis Evans, Jr. was born on Sunday, November 3, 1991, in Northside Hospital in Atlanta, GA. He was the only son of Darlene Renee Royal and Stacy Travis Evans, Sr. He departed this earth on Sunday, March 22, 2020 for eternal rest with our Heavenly Father. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather Mr. Herman Kelly Atkins and his maternal grandmother Mrs. Delores Griggs Atkins.

Stacy accepted Christ at an early age and became a member of Friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA. He was a high school graduate, attending Creekside High School in Fairburn, GA; Columbia High School in Decatur, GA; and Druid Hills High School in Atlanta, GA. Upon graduation, he attended Herzing University.

Stacy, affectionately called “Poonie” as a child, developed a love and passion for the Culinary Arts. He was developing his skills and talent in local restaurants---Local Three Kitchen & Bar, A Mano Italian Restaurant, The Square Pub, and Manuel’s Tavern American Restaurant---to name a few. He wasn’t a stranger to hard work, and no position was beneath him, oftentimes entering a job as dishwasher, then progressing to prep cook, line cook, and wait staff. He was always willing to help out with newer employees or filling in extra hours as needed. Stacy’s long-term plan was to open a restaurant of his own.

Stacy leaves to cherish his memories and celebrate his life a loving mother, Darlene Renee Royal; his loving father, Stacy Travis Evans Sr.; his loving sister, Brijaana Rhea-Symone Smith Royal; paternal grandparents, William and Deloris Evans; two aunts, Mareba Archie and Kagiso Evans; one uncle, Meenka Evans; and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Due to convir19, the Funeral Service for Stacy will be live stream on our website at a later date.

WE LOVE YOU, TRAVIS”

I hadn't seen Stacy in a couple months, when he just popped up in front of me. And nothing at all had changed. He was the same warm, joyful, amazing human. Because he was just the kinda person who pops up and spreads happiness. I am glad he was in my life, and I am deeply sorry for you loss.

I can't begin to imagine the loss of a child but it has to leave an empty place in your heart. I have no words but express my deepest sympathy. I agree gone too soon. Love, Marion Mills

I never got to meet you, but your mom talked very highly of you when I was in school. I know you had to have been an exceptional person because she was an amazing teacher. May God continue to heal your family during this difficult time, but I know you're in a better place. -ShaMiah Davis

I knew Stacy for a only very short period as his healthcare provider but he definitely left his mark on my memory. I was impressed and encouraged by his attitude the first day I met him. He was so motivated to get well and was so kind and so patient, not only with us as healthcare providers but with himself. I am so sorry about his passing. I understand why he will be missed by so many.

I met Stacy when I worked at Local 3. He could always see two steps ahead in anticipation as to what I would need. That anticipation is not only a skill that serves well in the restaurant industry, but in life as well. He wanted to help any and all people he knew, who inevitably knew and respected his work ethic and attention to detail; who eventually knew his personality as fun and witty, and his heart as true and kind. The former is what I got to know first and the latter after I hired him to work at a restaurant I managed at the time which had just opened up. It was there that I saw the person who would go above and beyond in anyway he could for those in need. His heart was very true, so much so that his feeling would sometimes be worn on his sleeve and you would witness an honest man being honest about pain and heartache; so empathetic to others that his emotions would become tangled up in what should have not been his battle. The kindness that exuded from Stacy is what I will always remember. He was so aware of his abounding love for his friends and coworkers that any opportunity to express it within his means was inevitable. He was trusted and loved. My condolences for the world's loss. Stacy will truly be missed. -Sara Blum

Stacy, my roomate, my friend, and my brother. The world will be a little colder for us all without you. We are all mourning your departure. It is with a very heavy heart and mind that I write this today. If you are watching down on us, you should already know your family was gracious enough to allow me to attend today. And while the pain is unfathomable, I will forever be in their debt. Keep those gates unlocked, or be prepared to sneak me in. You know how we do it. Dawson and I love you man. We will catch up and reminisce when I arrive. Keep those angels laughing brother, and may God bless you with the life you deserve. -PJ

Darlene, recalling the first time I saw Stacy when he was a few months old brings a smile to my face. He was such a sweet baby & from the noted comments he also became a nice young man. Thank God you had a great mother-son bond. May God's grace be with you. Mrs. Stanford

Hey cuz, I just wanted to say imma love you FOREVER man ! I can't believe your gone man I'm really at disbelief honestly it took me a minute to even look at this the first time I attempted I broke down and couldn't proceed to even think of anything to write like now as I type this. I guess it's just me not wanting to say bye because I thought I wouldn't be saying it this soon. I'll always keep you close to my heart all I can see in my head is our baby picture together even though we were too young to remember it's like a piece of me that I'll never let go. All the talks we had all the laughter we shared you ARE blood and every time I think I won't get to hear your voice or even get to joke and laugh with you I'll shed a tear. Love you forever and always ! your, Lil big cousin (as you would say ) LeShawn Evans (Pooh)

There are no words to say as I think of the handsome young man with the big smile, who grew up in Friendship Baptist Church, with his sister. Your grandmother, Mrs. Atkins brought the two of you regularly, as I did my niece. To your sister, Brijaana,your mother, father and other family members I wish God's peace as you celebrate Travis' life, especially during this time when we're experiencing a pandemic in the whole world. Love, Adrienne Scandrett

Travis man what's going on my brother. We met playing football as kids and our moms got real cool so we hung out a lot you spent the night at my house and vice versa. One cool memory I have is when we were going with your mom to the gym and let it burn cane in and you were singing it and I was like wow you can really sing cause your voice was high at the time I was being a smart ale I but when I saw you light up after I encouraged you I couldn't continue with the joke it was your smile that lit up the room my boy. You never knew this but I. Kind of viewed you as a younger brother to me and I still do which is why this hits home for me. Every time I see the sky bright I'll know your up there smiling man..... Your brother from another mother Cain.

I've already seen your face dozens of times since you passed. It's crazy you won't be able to realize your dreams of becoming a chef or carry on anymore..you were such a gentle, hospitable person. You always wanted to give back even when the world kept kicking you. I heard you adored me, but really, you're the one deserving of adoration. You'll always be my big bro. I hate that you left us too soon, but we'll have to settle for you living on in our memories. Everything you didn't get while on Earth better have came back to you, 10 fold, because there's no one more deserving than you. Love you always, my blood, my brother, my motivation. Keep gramps and gram company and Rest easy till me and ma see you all again. I'll miss you, we all will.

To my dear son Travis (Stacy Travis Evans Jr.) aka "Poonie", I wanted to be the first one to tell you how much I miss you. I will miss your calls. I will miss our late night conversations. I will miss your hugs. I will miss your warm eyes. I will miss your smile. I will miss your kisses. I know you are up there in Heaven looking over me and your sister, Brijaana. Until we meet again in Heaven, love always, missing you always, your mommy (Darlene Renee Royal).
