Eufaula mourns loss of a hero

August 11, 2009 by Nicki Faulk  

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sgt. Evans’ loved ones:

A Eufaula native died late last week while serving in Afghanistan. U.S. Army Sgt. Jerry Randall Evans, Jr., 23, died late last week according to his father, Jerry Evans, Sr. His father said he has heard few details about what happened to his son, but apparently he was in a truck that was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED.)

“They got out (of the vehicle) and then shots were fired,” his father said. The family was informed of the incident Friday evening. More on this story will appear in the midweek edition of The Eufaula Tribune, available Tuesday morning.
