Evan Leon Dancey

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Evan Leon Dancey, 27, of Mocksville, formerly of Statesville on Friday, October 14, 2022. He went home to be with his Heavenly Father.
He was born in Iredell County on October 29, 1994, to Josh Dancey and Amy Mendoza Williams.
Evan was a 2013 graduate of South Iredell High School where he played football, and during his senior year, the team won the State Championship, and he was very proud of that. He loved all sports, but football was his favorite, and he was a Panthers fan. He also loved the Lakers and Lebron James. Evan was a Christian and loved people. He never met a stranger and loved talking to everyone he met. He enjoyed music, singing, dancing, and playing Xbox games. More than anything, he loved his family and would do anything for them.
