Douglas Robert Evers
As a child, Doug lived across the street from Pioneer Park where he got into typical kid shenanigans, including, as he liked to tell the story, using his little red wagon as a boat to float to the middle of a lake when he was four. He graduated Rhinelander High School, Class of 1966. He then attended the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in biology and met, in a bowling class, his wife of 50 years, Kathy, who he married on June 20, 1970. Together they raised two sons, Charles (Chuck) and Eric, and two daughters, Wendy and Heidi (his Dido). He owned and operated Eversco Ltd and Living Nutrition since 1981 in the Rhinelander area where he was able to help many people over the years with their health and well-being by supplying vitamins and supplements.
Doug was also a firm believer in Jesus Christ who both led people to and worked to strengthen the knowledge and faith of believers in the Lord. Always an outdoor lover, Doug enjoyed hunting, fishing, family boat rides, and trap shooting. He adored watching his grandchildren grow and spending Papa time with them, especially beating them soundly at card games.
Doug is survived by his wife, Kathleen (Jenista); his four children and their three spouses, Chuck and Jen (Lewandoski), Eric and Cori (LaBarbera), Troy and Wendy (Evers) Thompson, and Heidi Evers; his five grandchildren, Zachary, Samuel, Elijah, Owen, and Luciana (to him Missy Muffin), and a beloved granddog, Spicy; and his sister, Juliane (Evers) Hallum. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his younger brother, Charles.
