Lee Cromwell Evans

Crom Evans passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 28th, due to complications from
ALS with his loving family by his side. Crom was born in Nashville, TN on September 4,
1946, to Whitney Tyler Evans, Sr and Joyce Baxter Evans. He grew up in Macon, GA and
attended Lanier High School. He was a graduate of UGA with a BBA in Real Estate and
was a member of Bons Hommes of Macon. He served with the GA Army National Guard
unit in Macon.
Crom moved to Atlanta after graduation and worked first at Atlanta Federal Savings &
Loan Assn and then at Appraisal Associates of Atlanta, Inc. where he appraised
residential real estate for over 45 years, specializing in relocation appraisals. He was a fee
appraiser for the VA for over 40 years and was also a licensed real estate salesperson.
Crom loved his family, his friends and his church, Peachtree Presbyterian, where he was a
long time greeter and a faithful member of Credence Sunday School class. When visiting
his son’s family in AL, he enjoyed attending Hayneville Baptist and the Adult V Sunday
School class. He loved the South, its people and its food. Crom enjoyed walking on trails
in north GA and around Chastain Park as well as family fishing trips with his boys. He
was an avid sports fan, sitting in the same seats in Sanford Stadium since the 1950’s and
tailgating with good friends for over 45 years in the same tailgate spot. He especially
loved fried chicken with country fixings and sweet tea which made for a heavenly day
after a UGA victory. Crom took great pleasure in coaching his boys and their friends in
numerous sports.
Crom is survived by his loving wife and best friend of over 46 years, Marilyn Wallace
Evans, his 2 sons, Lee Bradfield Evans (Kathleen) of Hope Hull, AL, and Brantley Tyler
Evans of Roswell, GA, and his grandchildren, Ellis Ann Evans and Brantley Shephard
Evans. He is also survived by his 2 brothers, Whitney Tyler Evans, Jr (Sarah) of Macon
and Eldridge Baxter Evans (Maida) of Forsyth, as well as his sister-in-law, Charlene
Morgan Wallace of Carrollton, and several nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank all of our friends for their love and support during this
very difficult journey. A memorial service will be held Thursday, May 2nd, at 2 PM in the
sanctuary of Peachtree Presbyterian Church with a reception following the service in the
Williams Center. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made, to local missions, at
either Peachtree Presbyterian Church, 3434 Roswell Rd, Atlanta, GA 30305 or Hayneville
