Pete was born on January 31, 1928 on the family farm in Verboort. He was one of nine children born to Albert and Dora (VanDyke) Jansen. He was raised on the family farm and attended Verboort Catholic Grade School and Verboort High School graduating with the Class of 1946.\r

He met his future wife, Irene McGinn at a church dance in Hillsboro. They soon began dating and on April 3, 1951 they were married at St Matthew Catholic Church in Hillsboro. Following their marriage they made their home and raised their family on the farm in Verboort. Irene passed away on March 13, 1989 and Pete continued to live on the farm until recently.\r

Pete was a dairyman all of his life.He owned and operated, with his wife, Wil-Rene Farms raising around 50 head of registered Guernsey cows while operating a 120 acre farm. In 2014, the farm was designated as an Oregon Century Farm. He enjoyed farming tremendously and working with his family. Pete was a 4-H leader of the Verboort Dairy Club and sponsored theShowmanship award at the Washington County Fair for over 15 years. Peteparticipated in dairy shows at the county, state, and national levels. In high school he played baseball for the Verboort Dutchman as a catcher and continued playing some semi pro ball. Irene and Pete square danced with the 4N8er's and enjoyed dancing in the Forester Hall (across the street from their home), Aloha Grange Hall,and throughout the state. They traveled to British Columbia, Hawaii, Mexico, and across the nation but Pete especially liked to take Sunday afternoon drives through the valley. He volunteered at his church as treasurer of the Visitation Catholic Cemetery (44 years) and served twice as chairman of the Verboort Sausage and Kraut Dinner.\r

He was a member of the Forest Grove Elks, Oregon Guernsey Breeders Association, and American Guernsey Association for many years. He also served as a district director on the All West / Select Sires board for 12 years. In addition, he spent four years as the manager of the Oregon Jersey Milk Co-op. He received several awards including the 1985 Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District Co-Operator of the Year and in 1997 received the Community Service Award from the Oregon Dairy Farmers Association.\r

Pete’s pride and joy was his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved family gatherings, especially picnics and weiner roasts around the fire pit on the family farm!\r

He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Irene, a daughter, Janet, eight siblings; Maurice, Larry, Gerve, Vern, Clarence, Mary Hafner, Arlene Herinckx and Martha Eberly.\r

He is survived by his seven children and their spouses; Mike and Sherry Jansen of Verboort, Patty and Byron Meadows of Salem, Linda and Bruce Heintz of Cedar Mill, Carolyn and Marv Vanaken of Forest Grove, Jackie and John Thomas of Hillsboro, Susan and Dale Pedersen of Vernonia, Dan and Marlene Jansen of Christmas Valley, a sister-in-law; Dorothy Jansen of Forest Grove, eighteen grandchildren and five great grandchildren.\r

Born in Hollandtown, Wisconsin, on October 29, 1851

Died in Verboort, Oregon, on April 7, 1937 at age 85

Parents: John Evers and Petronella VanAert Evers

Peter Evers married Antonia Vandehey on May 29, 1876, in Wisconsin

They moved to Verboort in 1877, and together they had seven children:

Petronella

John

Annie

Allegonda (Alice)

Antone

Albert

William

Antonia died when William was 2 days old, from complications of childbirth. She was 33 years old. After Antonia's death, Peter raised his family in a farm house directly south of Visitation Cemetery while farming days and working evenings in his shoe shop. He sewed his shoes with pig bristle instead of a needle. For soles and heels, he used only wooden pegs, never using nails. He got the leather from Portland to make his fine handmade boots. In 1930, when he was 79, he made his last pair of shoes for his sister, Meika (Mary). Meika had been blind since 1919 following eye surgery and lived all her life with Peter, and later with his son, Albert. Although Peter semi-retired in 1910, when his sons took over his 80 acres of farm land, he was never idle. His spare moments were spent in prayer, a rosary always in his gnarled hands.

Peter Ralph Evers, 92, a long term resident of the Roy community, passed away on August 29, 2016. \r

Pete was born on the family farm in Verboort on February 18, 1924. He was the fifth of fifteen children born to Albert and Mary (Hermens) Evers. He was raised in Verboort and attended Visitation Catholic School.\r

He met Mary Miller while showing Holstein dairy cattle at the Oregon State Fair. They were married in February, 1953 in West Linn and made their home in Verboort, moving to Roy in 1963. They had eight children and divorced in 1984. Pete continued to live in the Roy area and married his childhood friend Genny (Vanderzanden) Herinckx in 1993.\r

Pete was a dairy farmer for the first part of his life and then worked as a meat handler for Carnation Pet Foods, retiring when he was 62. \r

Pete and Genny were avid gardeners who loved eating fresh vegetables and sharing their annual bountiful harvests with family, neighbors, and friends. Pete was also known for his special version of oatmeal cookies, “GPCs – Grandpa Pete Cookies” and shared batches with everyone he met. He was also a hobby meteorologist and was remarkably skilled with plants and animals. Pete had an incredible memory, could spout the names, dams, sires and grand dams of the 100 cow herd and could tell you the planting history of a good many of the fields in Washington County, as well as the history of the residents and who was related to whom. He was a very caring person who tended his aging mother for a number of years.\r

He is preceded in death by his parents, six siblings and a grandson, Austin Lee. \r

Survivors include his wife, Genny, eight children and their spouses: Joyce and Mike Ochsner of Portland, Jim Evers of Oregon City, Tony Evers and Luis Pereira of Brazil, Jane Evers and Peter Bonting of Germany, John and Lisa Evers of Beaverton, Ken and Erin Evers of Gaston, Margaret Evers and Bob Lee of Oregon City, Susanne Evers of Portland; eight siblings: Florence Herinckx, Agnes Oblander, Norma Sue Peters, Alvin, Gene, Joe, Ned, and Fred Evers; fifteen grandchildren; eleven great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.\r

The family wishes donations in Pete’s name be made to St. Francis of Assisi Church.
