James Edwin "Jim" Evans, age 68, of 417 Gantwood Lane , passed away at 2:10 PM Sunday, November 8, 2009 at Moses Cone Hospital after several years of declining health.

Jim owned and operated several businesses in the Burlington area during his lifetime including; The Rose Connection, Maple Ave. Produce, The Rose Petal Lawn and Garden Center, Aluminum Recycling and DJ's Western Wear. He was a special person that touched many people during his life's journey. Jim was the type of person who would give a stranger the shirt off his back if they needed it. He loved to go to area flea markets to search for hidden treasures and his face would light up at the mention of a Saturday morning yard sale. The funeral service will be conducted at 2:00 PM Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at Lowe Funeral Home Chapel by the Rev. Paul Rhodes. Interment will follow at Bethel Presbyterian Church Cemetery. The family will receive friends at the funeral home from 6-8 Tuesday evening and other times at the residence.
