Second Lieutenant Alfred D Evans Jr was survived by his mother, Anna Evans, and his father Alfred D Evans. He was awarded the Air Medal with the Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster. He is laid to rest in the Normandy American Cemetery. A monument to his life has been established in the space where his P-47 had crashed in Héricourt-sur-Therain.
