Dr. Evans passed from this life to enter heaven's glory early this morning.
 
I have been scouring the internet trying to find old videos of him leading singing at HAC or preaching from back when he had good strength (before the Schaap era).

Anybody have a link?

Just tie a knot and hang on.....there may be one out there somewhere.
Were videos allowed in chapel?
 
Anybody maybe have something that search engines aren't finding? Willing to upload and share?
 
Was hoping to find something with that full chapel and the HAC anthem or something else
 
praying for the family. When they would come to Lake Wales we would go up and visit for the weekend. And take them grocery shopping etc to the doctor. We had some great talks and times. His second wife is precious.
 
Since this is the Hyles Anderson forum, I'm actually very surprised that there has not been more reaction to the death of Dr. Evans, who some deemed as "Mr. Hyles Anderson." I'm not sure all that it means.

I did watch most of the live stream of his memorial service and it struck me that what ever short comings he may have had as a father, his children had forgiven him, and I thought that especially true by the comments of his daughter, Joy.

This is a blessed thought for all of us fathers. Children are forgiving if we reach out in love on a consistent basis. Thank God.

Sometimes people are busy . I'm glad the kids said good things.

Raider and I texted back and forth about how "non dramatic" his passing was contrasted with how it would have been 25 years ago. I'll work on getting my musings on this thread. Long and short - Things are a lot different than when Evans was a key player.
 
Here goes. A text exchange from BCH to Raider. This will be a collector's item.

Believe it or not, I'll be serious on this one!
I'm not surprised by seeing some empty chairs at Bro. Evans ' funeral. It's in the summer. He had been out of the lime light for quite a while. We're all getting older.
There has been a falling away from the movement. Dr. Evans, even 15 years ago, told me he knew he wasn't as relevant to younger students.
A lot of my sentiment is because back in the day, we were used to cram packed venues. Yes, a lot has changed, and that's not bad in itself.

Do you know approximately what year Dr. Evans stepped down from an on-campus role at the college? Was it before or after the Schaap firing?

In all honesty, my views of HAC and its leaders have changed over the decades. I never really idolized the leadership as others seemed to. I always respected the leadership, but I never came away saying, "Gosh, he did a good job of leading that song," even though he probably did at times.

When leadership says one thing and does another, my mind cannot and will not reconcile it. I'm not happy with HAC or its leadership. I am sorry that I graduated from there.

I'm glad Wendell Evans had loving family around him. Looking back, however, he is sort of a sad character to me in a Shakesperean tragedy that continues to this day.

Jo, maybe we are all sad in some ways. I guess that's life. I said it in a previous post, but of all of Dr. Evans attributes, I thought congregational song leading was his strongest. I remember one of my close friends in college told me back then "he's the best song leader I've ever heard." I thought "what?" But then I got to thinking that he really did know how to get people to sing in his rather unorthodox way, so I guess he is great at it.

However, in other ways I did not think him spectacular. I thought he was more of a soldier than a general.
