THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from the James Logan High School Class of 1963 Alumni is touching. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Sergeant Donald Ray Evans, Served with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463 (HMH-463), Marine Aircraft Group 16 (MAG-16), 1st Marine Aircraft Wing (1st MAW), Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Dear Sgt Donald Evans,
Thank you for your service as an Aircraft Electrical Systems Technician. It is important for us to remember all of you. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear Don,

It has been 50 years since you left us.

As kids growing up in Niles during the 50's and 60's, we still have many happy memories of the good times we all shared with you at Niles Elementary School, at Vallejo Mill School and finally the fun-time years at James Logan High School.

You were a good student with good grades. As Number 53 with the Fighting James Logan High School Colts football team, you could always be counted on to help our running backs score the needed points when the going got tough.

Graduation in June of 1963 was a time of enthusiasm, anticipation and celebration. For many of us it was off to college, or off to the workforce and because of the times, eventually off to the military.

In May of 1968, the arrival of the sad news of your passing devastated us all. Your sacrifice continues to leave a void in our community. You are deeply missed by all. You Are Not Forgotten.

Rest in Peace Donald Ray Evans. Semper Fidelis.
