Doing historical research on Officer Evans. Really an incredible story. Clearly doing his duty to try and stop a very dangerous suspect when he was killed. Left behind two very young adopted children.

On this 70th Anniversary (2019) of your EOW, Marlin know that you will NEVER be forgotten by this family. Marlin was a distant cousin to me. My Great-Grandmother Jewell, also a long-time Long Beach resident, was his cousin. My Great-Great Grandfather Charles Evans of Arkansas, was his uncle. My family has told me the story of Marlin many times, and we have honored his sacrifice over these many years. May God Bless you Marlin and your descendants for your service and sacrifice!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the sixty-first anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace.
