Jason "Cakes" Evans

Jason "Cakes" Evans, Clarks Summit, died at work Friday because of a work related accident in Luzerne County.

Born in Scranton, he was the son of James and Barbara Tench Evans, Clarks Summit.

He was self-employed and worked alongside his brother as the co-owner of Evans Roofing. He was a member of Our Lady of the Snows Church.

Since Cakes was small, he was known for his love of wrestling. He excelled at Abington Heights and Kutztown University, then coached for many years. Most recently, he enjoyed training and coaching his best buddy and nephew, Luke.

Cakes was a happy man who would always share a smile. His laugh was infectious and will be remembered by everyone who was blessed to hear it. He would help anyone in need, always giving with his giant heart. Cakes was the type of guy you were proud to call your family or friend.
