" trailblazing Texas entrepreneur," "trailblazing Texas entrepreneur," and "true Texan" are just a few words being used to describe Randy Evans, who died on Feb.
27 at the age of 76.
Evans, who was born in Amarillo and grew up in Dallas, "turned every opportunity into a venture, from his choice to move back to Dallas to co-found E3 Group, to his final years in the small community of Hideaway," according to a tribute from the Texas Association of Business.
"His passions ranged from solving Rubik's Cubes to writing novels, but he was most at home discussing Texas history or watching his favorite films, The Alamo and Tombstone," the tribute continues.
"A true Texan, Randy's support for the Dallas Cowboys fluctuated with the seasons, but his love for his state never wavered," the tribute continues.
"Randy Evans embodied the spirit of Texas, making it clear he would rather die in Texas than live anywhere else."
