Nathaniel Leon "Peanut" Evans

Nathaniel Leon Evans (Peanut), born on August 10, 1959, in the charming town of Welch, WV, peacefully embarked on his eternal journey and found sweet rest on November 25, 2023. Nathaniel, the delightful soul that he was, held a special place as one of eight beloved children to the late Blaine Henry Evans and Ida Mae (Patterson) Jones. His educational journey took him through the halls of Northfork High School. Known for his heart of gold, Nathaniel's generous spirit shone bright. He dedicated his time to volunteering with various charitable organizations in his community and, until recently, contributed his skills to the city of Keystone, WV. A true pillar of Mt. Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Keystone WV, Nathaniel's lifelong commitment to his faith added a beautiful layer to his character. On November 22,1985, he embarked on a wonderful journey of marriage with Gladys Evans. Nathaniel's legacy is one of kindness, generosity, and a deep connection to his community and faith. As we remember him, let's cherish the warmth he brought to our lives and the joy he spread throughout his community. Nathaniel is remembered fondly by his sisters, Reverend Dr. Jonetta Carter and Jackie Butler (alongside Aaron Butler), as well as his brothers Michael Patterson (OG Patterson), Derrick Evans (Jackie Evans), Richard Evans (Cherral Evans), and Eugene Mansfield. He also leaves behind his children: Aundra Thweatt, James Reed, Walter Reed, Tamika Reed, Ada Reed, Nicole Reed (deceased), Deago Reed (deceased). 10 nieces, 7 nephews, 20 great nieces and nephews, 29 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren to cherish his memory. Sadly, Eddie and Mary P (Mansfield) Patterson, who are Nathaniel's maternal grandparents, along with one niece, preceded him in death. Nathaniel's circle of love extends to a host of cousins, extended family and friends with whom he shared many cherished moments.
