L.U. 46 (as,c,cs,em,es,et,i,mar,mo,mt,rtb,rts&st), SEATTLE, WA — IBEW family, it is with great sadness that our local reports the passing of Brother Elwood Evans. Brother Elwood was close to the heart of Local 46.
Brother Elwood joined the IBEW and the inside wire apprenticeship in 1974, and since then has gone by many names: apprentice, journeyman, steward, organizer, dispatcher, rep, counselor, friend, and above all, brother.
Brother Elwood had a real passion for serving the IBEW, and he did so in many capacities for 34 years. He was the first Black dispatcher at Local 46, and he made sure to light the path for those who followed.
An avid advocate and ally, Brother Elwood continued to work until his passing, taking meetings with any member who came to him. He was a kind man who loved his family and his friends. His beliefs were strong, and he loved to help others in need.
The Evans family and Local 46 would like to thank all the siblings who sent cards, flowers, stories, thoughts and prayers.
Brother Elwood will be missed.
