Dr. Gerald E. Evans
It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved friend, Dr. Gerald “Jerry” Evans.
Beyond his kindness, dependability, and being oh so knowledgeable about EVERYTHING, Jerry was immersed in the education of business ethics and leadership. He taught many of our real estate students, was a professor at the University of Montana, and a Lead Trainer with the Leadership Montana Program. With core values in productivity, competence, dependability, autonomy, and family, Jerry was a phenomenal teacher and fierce friend and he will be missed dearly!
