Known by the professional name Hans Evins, Hans announced for the American Birkebeiner and Lumberjack World Championships, Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival, and other area events, including charity events. He sports casted many area high school basketball games as well.

Hans is survived by three brothers, Eggert Eliasson of Reykjavik, Iceland, Peter (Chris) Eyvindsson of St. Cloud, Minnesota, Thor (Pam Johnson) Eyvindsson of Hayward, WI; a sister, Helen (William) Dvorak of Butternut, WI; two nephews, Erik (April) Eyvindsson of St. Augusta, Minnesota, and Dr. Nicholas (Meghan) Eyvindsson of Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota; two nieces, Melinda Dvorak (Colin Haymes) of Austin, Texas, and Kimberly Eyvindsson of Richfield, Minnesota; and a step-daughter Alexandria Stone of Bruce, Wisconsin.

Hans was preceded in death by his parents and maternal grandparents Gustave and Helen (Moore) Flannum, and paternal grandparents Eyvindur Þórarinsson and Sigurlilja Sigurðardóttir.

Hans was a lifelong fan of the Green Bay Packers and sports in general. He had a talent early on for remembering sports statistics. He was an enthusiastic aficionado of classic rock and heavy metal music and attended numerous concerts throughout his lifetime. He enjoyed watching TV series and movies, in particular, horror movies. Hans loved holidays and enjoyed decorating his home for the occasion, particularly for Halloween, for which he often sported great costumes. He was interested in Vikings and in his Icelandic heritage.

There are few people you come to know in life who are as gentle and tender hearted as Hans was. He loved to laugh and have a good time, he loved his family and friends, and he had a huge soft spot for animals, especially cats. His natural talent for radio and voiceover work was tremendous. He was a gregarious man and had a lot of style. He is terribly missed by many. Hans we wish you loving peace in the hereafter; you remain forever in our hearts.
