James S. Yevins

James S. “Jimbo” Yevins, 64, of Houston, died on Sunday, July 21, 2019.   He was born on March 24, 1955, in Washington, a son of Mary Jane Sonson Yevins, of Washington, and the late Stephen Yevins.   James was an active member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, where he volunteered every Sunday as an usher.   Mr. Yevins worked in sales for Caldwell’s Windoware.  If there was  a detail to be known about commercial shades, Jimbo knew it.    It's no surprise that he critiqued the design and installation of the privacy curtain in his hospital room.  He contended that he could have got them a better price and product.    He enjoyed baseball, golf, coaching, and umpiring.  He loved Penn State football and enjoyed going to games in State College.   His greatest joy was spending time with his friends and family, especially his grandchildren.  According to Jimbo "grandkids can do no wrong."    A few of his last conversations included coaching his team to 1st place at the 1994 South Fayette All-Star Tournament, planning his next trip to Vegas, and of course...the 2019 Boston Red Sox.    On July 17, 1976, he married Lee Ann Pusateri, who died on April 17, 2007.   Surviving are three children, Aleea (Tim Gehrke) Yevins, of Washington, Jared (Ashley) Yevins, of Moon Township, and Brady (Brigitte) Yevins, of Houston; a brother, Vincent (Melissa) Yevins, of Washington; a sister, Stephanie (Kent) Hughes, of Alexandria, VA; and three grandchildren, Jaymeson, Amelia and Aleena Yevins.
