H.R. No. 375
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The untimely passing of Misty Lynn Evans of Beaumont
on July 16, 2017, at the age of 36, has brought a profound loss to
the family and friends of this beloved woman; and
WHEREAS, A native of Valencia, California, the former Misty
Millar was born on May 24, 1981, to Chuck and Deborah Millar; when
she was 18 years old, she moved to Florida, where she met her future
husband, Joe Evans; beginning her married life with him, Ms. Evans
wholeheartedly welcomed his daughter, Alonha, as her own, and their
family continued to grow with the birth of two more daughters,
Jordynn and Denver; the couple relocated to Valencia for a time but
soon decided to make their home in the Lone Star State, moving to
Beaumont in the spring of 2006; and
WHEREAS, This loving wife and mother was also cherished by a
wide circle of extended family and friends; possessed of a great
wit, she was known to inspire fits of laughter at every gathering
with her hilarious stories; her ability to find the humor in all
situations helped her cope with a number of hardships, and she
inspired those around her by facing every obstacle with strength,
courage, and unshakeable faith; and
WHEREAS, Misty Evans lived her life with passion, enthusiasm,
and joy; although the loss of this vibrant woman leaves a deep
sadness in the hearts of all who knew her, she will forever be
remembered with great love and admiration; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory
of Misty Lynn Evans and extend sincere condolences to the members of
her family: to her husband, Joe Evans; to her daughters, Alonha,
Jordynn, and Denver Evans; to her father, Charles J. Millar; to her
mother, Deborah Cottrell; to her brothers, Kevin, Jensen, C. J.,
and Casey Millar; and to her other relatives and many friends; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for her family and that when the Texas House of
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Misty
Evans.
