Allyson Elizabeth (Wall) Evans, 20, of Allegan, MI passed away unexpectedly on Sunday morning, January 7, 2024. Born into the loving arms of Rodney and Jean (Rial) Wall on August 13, 2003, she was a gift from God from her first breath. Allyson loved Jesus and gave her life to Christ at the tender age of nine. When she was a little older, she loved serving in the nursery at Radiant Church. Allyson graduated from Allegan High School in 2021 where she had been a cheerleader and made many wonderful friends that she shared special memories with. On October 22, 2023, she married Gunner Evans and became the beloved daughter-in-law of Rob and Shelly (Tobey) Evans. Allyson loved Gunner and his family, and they were excited to plan their futures together. She had worked as a receptionist at Rapa Electric, Inc. in Allegan and also loved her role as a homemaker. Allyson was an incredible cook and baker (she especially loved her crock pot and Pyrex glassware) and was very talented when it came to quilting and crocheting. Although she excelled at the traditional tasks, she also enjoyed getting out and having fun dirt biking and three-wheeling. Allyson had an ability to bring people together with her goofy, good sense of humor and warm personality. She loved her family deeply and made sure to show everyone that she cared. Even in her passing, Allyson’s legacy of giving continues. She was a donor with Gift of Life Michigan and through this generous gift, she was able to help more families than they could count.
