Today we honor and celebrate the life of Mr. Evans Washington. Affectionately known as “Ebb”, Evans Washington was born January 3, 1946 in Marion County, South Carolina. He departed this life on Saturday, March 24, 2018.

“Ebb” was known by all as a great provider, a hard-worker, and a loving family man. He was very straight forward and by all who knew him, he was known to “tell it like it is”, but al-

ways out of love.

“Ebb” accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and served as a Deacon for many years at Poplar Creek Baptist Church in Lakeview, SC.

He leaves to cherish his fond memories: his loving and devoted wife of 52 years, Linda Washington; two sons, Terry Washington and John Washington of Lakeview, SC; one daughter, Christine Washington of Lakeview, SC; grandchil-dren: Anthony, Erica, Sheika, Jessica, Tawanda, Dashonda, Sierra, Jonta, Johnasia, Shenia, and Taya; several great grand-children; ten sisters: Alberta Bailey, Alvine Leonard, May Washington, Clara Mae (Henry) Yates, Patsy Waters, Elizabeth (Roy) Carmichael, Naime Washington, and Barbara (Randolph) Jones; two brothers, Edward Charles Washington, and Gerome Washington; a host of nieces and nephews; and many very special friends.

Evans was preceded in death by his mother, Gladys Ford, his father, Ed Jr. Washington, and two brothers, Billy Washington and Jerry Washington.
