Maurice Edward Evans "Mickey" "Reese"

February 25, 1988 — December 16, 2022

Maurice Edward Evans, affectionately known to his family as Mickey, and to his friends as Reese, was born in Chester, PA on February 25, 1988 to the late Waverly Johnson, and Donna Evans.  After complications with a chronic illness, on Friday, December 16, 2022, the Lord reclaimed his angel and reunited Maurice with one of his best friends, his sister, the late Sherree N. Evans.

Before he was even born, Maurice was given the nickname Mickey, and for his family and close friends, the name stuck.  He had a beautiful, infectious smile and was always easy going.  As a child, he loved all sports, but was most fond of playing basketball for various teams at Chester Biddy Basketball League and AAU Boys Basketball.  Maurice was educated in the Chester Upland School District and was a graduate of Chester High School Class of 2006.

For several years, he worked at Harrah’s Casino in Chester, PA as a cook.  He was extremely fond of his position and co-workers at Harrah’s and would often talk about how much fun it was working there.  He worked at other various places, and would later go on to work as a cook at his most recent place of employment, Applebees in Folsom, PA.  Cooking brought so much joy to Maurice. He would sample cooking different types of foods at home and could especially make a delicious steak.  He aspired to go to school to become a chef and own and operate his own food truck.

Maurice loved his children unconditionally and he especially loved spending time with them.  He was an awesome hands-on father and stepfather.  You would always find him outside with all the kids, planning a trip to the beach, or taking Heav and Cam to the park.  Being a father was something he was most proud of, and he did an excellent job.

Maurice leaves to cherish his memory, his mother, Donna Evans. Two sons; Jayden Evans and Camron Evans.  One daughter; Heaven Evans. Two brothers; Waverly Winston and Damien Winston Sr. (Nikita).  One sister, Sharim Priest (Vashon). Three nephews; Brian Clore, Jeremiah Priest, and Damien Winston Jr. One niece; Phoenix Priest.  A fiancé, Erica Patterson and her children, Aniyah, Lamar, Jaylen, and Royce.  Also, his bonus children, Saraji and Maniyah and a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.  Maurice will be deeply missed by all that love and knew him

Celebration of his life will be held on Wednesday December 28, 2022 at 11 am, viewing 9-10:45 am, Mother UAME Church, 701 E. 5th St. Wilmington, DE 19801.
