Mr. Arthur "Bubba" Evans was born on April 1, 1943 to the late Everlee and Mary Hart Evans. Bubba entered into eternal rest on Thursday, July 4, 2019, at his residence.

Bubba attended George Washington-Carver High School. Shortly thereafter, he began working at Greenwood Mills in Orangeburg, SC, where he served in many different capacities. Prior to the plant closure, Bubba provided over 20 years of hard work, dedication and service. As a result of plant closure, he then made the decision to take an opportunity as a forklift operator at Coxwood Preserve. Bubba became a staple at Coxwood and was loved by all he came in contact with. He was quiet in nature and reserved, but when he spoke, everyone listened. Bubba retired from coxwood Preserve after over 20 years of service when his wife became ill.

He was preceded in death by his life, Linda Lee Stevenson Evans; his parents, Everlee and Mary Hart Evans; and a sister, Annie Mae Miller.
