Anton “Dee” Evans 

Born March 28, 1960, Geneva, New York.   

Died January 7, 2026, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Anton ‘Dee’ was a charming and total character that always shed a special light on any event he attended.  His sense of humor and wry laugh always filled a room. He was a fun-loving brother, uncle and friend.   Dee was a storyteller who often shared his wisdom with sarcasm and wit, especially the many stories that were told about how he lost his finger. 

He loved to ride his Harley and drive fast cars – his Trans Am and Corvette and wasn’t afraid to take passengers along for ‘the ride of their life’.  Dee had a gift that once he set his mind and attention toward something he became exceptionally good at it, including golf and billiards.

His greatest joy in life was being a ‘bonus dad’ to his stepchildren with every aspect that entailed… everyday life, showing up to every game, activity, teaching them to drive and being there for the ‘life lessons’, being able to walk his daughter down the wedding aisle, the heartbreak of losing Tad and being ‘Granton’ to all his grandchildren. 

Dee graduated from Widefield High School in 1978 and later from Pikes Peak Community College with a Criminal Justice degree.  He had so many adventures including working in call centers, manufacturing facilities and many bars and restaurants.  He spent over 20 years with the Colorado Department of Corrections at the Limon Corrections facility and retired as a Case Manager II in 2019.  Anton even appeared on the television show “Locked Up”!

Dee’s departure from this world was quick and unexpected.  We will forever miss him in our lives and will cherish the moments we had with him.  

He was preceded in death by his parents Robley and Eunice and his stepson, Tad Butler.  Dee is survived by his three brothers and their wives Arthur Jan (Rosalie) Evans, Jon (Stacy) Evans, Eric (Julie) Evans, nieces and nephews Christina Doll, Robin Evans, Spencer Evans, Chloe Mauch, Stephanie Gordon, and Mitchel Evans.  His stepchildren Tanner (Shelby) Taylor, Ashton (Cody) Harrison as well as grandchildren Lulu, Maximus, Holden, and Rory and grand nieces and nephews; Titan Doll, Chloe and Parker Gordon, Mary and Jack Evans. 

We are grateful and fortunate that he shared his life with us. 

A celebration of life will be held on Dee’s birthday, March 28, 2026. Details to follow.
