With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we honor the life and legacy of Levi Evans of Tribune, Kansas—a devoted firefighter, loving family man, and a true servant to his community. Levi’s passing leaves a deep void not only within Greeley County Fire and Rescue, but also among the countless lives he touched through his courage, kindness, and unwavering dedication.
Levi embodied what it meant to serve. As a firefighter, he stood on the front lines with bravery and selflessness, always ready to answer the call, no matter the hour or the challenge. His commitment extended beyond the fire service, having also served with the Greeley County Sheriff’s Office, where he earned the respect of colleagues and community members alike. Levi was not just a member of these agencies—he was a leader, a mentor, and a brother to many.
Those who knew Levi will remember his passion for helping others and his ability to inspire those around him. He led with heart, teaching others the value of dedication, teamwork, and compassion. Whether working on department projects, like the new rescue truck design he was so excited about, or simply lending a listening ear, Levi gave his all in everything he did.
Above all, Levi was a family man. He was a devoted husband to Adriana Evans and a proud father to his son, Guilherme Ty Evans. His love for his family was evident in everything he did, and they were his greatest source of pride and joy. He also leaves behind a large and loving family, including his sisters Gabe N Jamie Smith, Daniela Veleta, Heather Marie Evans, Autumn Brinkman, and Synthia Preston; his mother, Synthia Preston; his grandmothers Barb Carroll and Geraldine-Gene Preston; as well as many nieces, cousins, and extended family members who will forever cherish his memory.
Levi’s journey began with his studies at Dodge City Community College, and from there, he built a life rooted in service, integrity, and love. He was a great friend, a trusted mentor, and a man whose presence brought comfort and strength to others.
Though his time here feels far too short, Levi’s impact will live on in the hearts of those who knew him and in the community he so faithfully served. The fire service has lost one of its finest, but his legacy will continue to guide and inspire.
Rest easy, Levi. Your watch may be over, but we will carry it forward. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
