With deep dimples and a beautiful smile on July 9, 1953 in Muskogee, Oklahoma a son was born to Alex and Irene Evitt and they lovingly named him Alex Evitt, Jr., better known as "Bumus" to family and friends.

Alex grew up at 1121 N. 3rd Street and attended Dunbar Elementary School, Sadler Jr. High, and Manual Training High School, graduating from Muskogee High School in the class of 1971.

At the age of 8 Alex made a decision to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He united with Antioch Baptist Church and was baptized under the pastoral leadership of Rev. B. W. Noble. Thanks be to God and a wonderful person by the name of Mrs. Claudia Ewell who held "Starlight Band" in her home as a Member of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. B.W. Noble, introducing children and families in the community to the Lord and bringing them to Christ, and Alex was one of those children.

Alex married Jean Wallace his high school sweet heart, and to this union 4 beautiful daughters were born: Trina, Adeline, Chrystal, and Shalonta. The marriage was later dissolved.

He enlisted in the United States Marines in September of 1975 and was stationed in San Diego, California. He received an Honorable Discharge and returned to Muskogee. Later enrolled in Bacon College and received his Associate Degree and went on to enroll in Northeastern State University where he earned his Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and Business Administration.

His children meant the world to him, and he had a special love for each one of them. He loved and enjoyed being with family and friends, and as he got older, he preferred to be alone at home, he didn't like being around big crowds of people, so he communicated with family, friends, classmates, and others using his mobile phone and Facebook Page, etc.
