October 2007

John Evans was found dead this morning in his home of an apparent heart attack.

John, for the last few years was Knox County's Solid Waste Director. Prior to that, he worked in then-Knox County Executive Dwight Kessel's office. He also worked for Knox County's Solid Waste Authority.

But I knew him as a pretty good reporter and a great guy. John worked here at WATE back in the 80's ( I think he left here in 1989) when I worked down the street at WBIR.

He had a wry sense of humor that often found its way into his stories.
