Chris was the son of Lindo and his wife Barbara Evans. He is survived by one brother Mark Evans. In October of 1987, Indianapolis suffered one of the worst tragedies in city history. A military plane fell short during an emergency landing at Indianapolis International Airport.
At 9:11 a.m., the control tower in Indianapolis received word an Air Force jet was in trouble. Four minutes later, the plane slammed into the front of the Airport Ramada Inn, where Chris Evans was employed as a bellman.
After losing an engine, Major Bruce Teagarden was trying to bring his plane in for an emergency landing. He came up short and ejected as his crippled Air Force A-7 jet came crashing down.
Teagarden survived and to this day has not spoken publicly about the crash. Nine Ramada employees, and a man who stopped to make a phone call, died. Their names are listed on a simple plaque at Holy Cross Cemetery on the south side of Indianapolis.
