Henry H. "Hank" Evers, 93, of Teays Valley passed away on March 21, 2015 after a short stay at Hubbard Hospice House, Charleston.

Born to William Evers and Jennie DeVriese Evers on October 10, 1921 on a farm located on the outskirts of Chicago, Ill. Hank was the oldest of eight children. After working his way through school, he graduated with a B.S. Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Illinois, and became employed with Union Carbide Corporation in South Charleston as a chemical engineer prior to entering the military service in 1942. He proudly worked at Union Carbide for over 30 years in many capacities, including a department head and with a research and development team, traveling both in and outside of the United States. During his many years working for Union Carbide, he and his wife Beverly, raised their family in South Charleston and attended Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church. His children will forever be indebted to him for seeing that they all received college educations and instilling in them love of hard work, music and fishing. He made many wonderful friends in his years with Carbide and loved his work.

After retiring from Union Carbide, Hank and his wife, Beverly, lived in the State of Florida for nearly 30 years where they made many friends and where he enjoyed fishing.
