Stanton Evenhus

Stan Evenhus lost his life Monday, July 21, 2025, in a tragic accident while taking care of his beloved mini-ranch in East Wenatchee, WA. Stan was born on October 21, 1948, in Devil’s Lake, North Dakota, to Harold and Jane Spidahl Evenhus. The family moved to Rock Island, WA, where he lived an adventurous life as a child and teen. Stan was always proud of the fact that he signed with the New York Yankees to play professional baseball right out of high school. Stan served in the Army in Vietnam in 1970. Stan and Jennifer were married on March 14, 1970, and shared countless adventures for 55 years. After playing professional baseball until 1974, they made their home in East Wenatchee, WA. Stan worked in construction in the Wenatchee Valley for many years in the paving industry. Stan’s true passion was sports. Most of all, proudly watching Jason and Tessa play sports during their careers and then watching the grandkids excel in sports, dance, horses, fair animals, and academic endeavors. Stan spent many hours playing men’s league softball, refereeing basketball, coaching girls’ high school basketball and softball, and mentoring many young athletes. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, and wheat harvest. Stan’s 8-acre mini-ranch was a source of pride for him, spending countless hours grooming the lawn and creating a place where friends and family could learn about animals and country life. Stan was generous beyond words, helping others without asking anything in return. Stan is survived by his wife, Jennifer, and their two children, Jason Evenhus (Amy Evenhus) and Tessa Bromiley. He leaves behind his cherished grandchildren Jax, Emma and Reese Evenhus, and Brooke Bromiley. He is also survived by many cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father and mother, siblings Sherman, Sharon, and Stewart, and nephew Derek. Family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Life for Stan, Friday, August 15 at 3:00pm at Jenny and Stan’s place in East Wenatchee.
