August 24, 1969 ~ October 13, 2019

Born in: West Palm Beach, FL
Resided in: Atlanta, GA

On Sunday, October 13, 2019, James Matthew Evans (Jim), a loving father, son and brother passed away at the age of 50 in Atlanta, GA.

Jim was born August 24, 1969 in West Palm Beach, Florida to John Francis Evans and Candice Evans Kaylor. He grew up in North Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens; attended PBG High School, the University of Florida and graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in journalism.

His father, John, predeceased him in death. He is survived by his two wonderful children, whom he loved, cherished and was deeply proud, his daughter Avery Reed Evans of Athens and his son Morgan Leland Evans of Atlanta. He also leaves to mourn his passing, his mother Candice, step-father Ron; brothers Mike Evans (Senta) of Palm Beach Gardens, Fl and Ryan Evans (Ashli) of Winter Park, Fl; as well as step siblings, Cindy O’Dwyer (Bill) of Jupiter, FL, Julie Kaylor (Michael) of PBG, FL and Chris Kaylor (Trina) of Nashville. He also leaves behind several nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends.

Jim had lived and worked in the Atlanta area for over 25 years for various companies in the computer/software industry. Jim grew up an avid surfer in his early years and an equally avid tennis player in Atlanta, as well as prolific reader. He will always be remembered for his quick wit, infectious smile and laugh, and his kind, compassionate spirit. He rarely met a stranger and loved to discuss/argue almost any topic.

A celebration of Jim’s life will be held in Atlanta, GA and Palm Beach Gardens, FL at dates yet to be determined.

In lieu of flowers, because Jim loved to read and loved his son and daughter so much, please buy a book and donate it in his memory to the school or library of your choice.

    I’m sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. We worked together for many years. My sympathies to Jim’s family and friends at this difficult time.

    • Tom McCarthy says:

      Jim was a close brother in our working family who spoke frequently about his family outside of work. He was always offering to help and in many ways helped me in my career. He was a good friend who also appreciated the entertainment that the world around us offered. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to his family and close friends.

    I worked with Jim for many years and both LSI and Virtustream. He was a nice person, a loving human being, a doting father, and a great friend. I have many fond memories of Jim and will simply miss him.

  3. Jason Sabatino says:

    Jim was always a team player and ready to help. Seems like yesterday we were running the halls at AMI and then LSI. My deepest sympathies and prayers to his children and family.

  4. Luca says:

    Jim and I worked together for many years and I always appreciated his way to relate and work with people. I will always have a fond memory of him.

  5. Erica Driver says:

    I hired Jim at AMI. He was a great employee and genuinely nice guy. I can’t believe he left this world so soon or so young. My heart goes out to his family.

  6. Christa Camiolo says:

    I’m truly sad and sorry to hear this news. Jim was a good friend and part of my work ‘family’ for over 15 years. His kindness, sense of humor, interesting stories, creative spirit, big smile, and unique giggle made for so many great times and memories over the years. My heart goes out to his children Morgan and Avery (whom he spoke of adoringly and often) and the rest of his family. 💙

  7. Charles Dean says:

    I am really saddened to hear about Jim’s passing. Jim was a great guy. We worked together 15 years at AMI and LSI, and he was an excellent colleague, one of those you remember fondly years later. I always enjoyed his sense of humor, which he maintained even on days of deadlines and stress.

    My thoughts are with his family during these difficult days. May your memories comfort you now and in time to come.
