William Everett was born in Burnsville, North Carolina on August 31, 1939, and passed away in the Hospice of the Chesapeake on June 30, 2025, after a battle with chronic leukemia for a year and a half. He loved the Lord and was ready to go home to be with Him.

William Everett lived in Severna Park, Maryland among wonderful neighbors and friends. He served in the U.S. Army from 1957 to 1959 and was a member of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ for over 60 years. He worked at George Washington University, Service Employees International Union and the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

William Everett was talented at everything- Wood working, landscaping and gardening, the latest technology, guitar, Piano and auto mechanics. He was a handyman and perfectionist in every area of home construction.

He was a man of few words, but he kept his cars looking first-class, everything in superb working order and a lawn that made "Better Homes and Gardens" envious.

No viewing or services are plan but the family has asked that donations to be made to the hospice of the Chesapeake at the link below in William Everett's honor.
