He wrung joy out of life: Nation s leaders remember William Billy Evans at Capitol

Under the dome of the Capitol, in the building that Officer William Francis Evans once protected, Billy’s family watched the nation’s leaders remember him. On a black podium at the heart of the Capitol Rotunda, Evans lay in honor, his casket draped in an American flag. When President Joe Biden took the podium during the congressional tribute, he turned to the family in mourning. “I didn’t know Billy,” he said. “But, I knew Billy.” Evans was the kind of person who would jump into a fight, no matter the odds, Biden said. “You’re outnumbered three to one, he’d still jump in, knowing you’d both get beat up,” he said. “He was the one who always kept his word. If he said he’d be there, he’d be there. He was the one who, just like the folks I grew up with, was incapable of saying no when you needed him.”
