Everit was born in Haastrecht, The Netherlands on December 7, 1941. He came to Canada with his family in 1951 where after a short time in Chatham they bought a farm in Kinnaird. He raised his own family there while building a grain elevator, a passion at which he worked until his retirement at 81. He also co-founded Forest Agri Services. Everit was a collector at heart: first comics, and later “art”, seashells, model trains, and vintage tractors.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebration at St. Christopher’s Catholic Church on Thursday, February 27, 2025, at 11:00am. A private interment will take place at Beechwood Cemetery.
The family would like to extend a very special thank you to all the wonderful and caring staff at Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital for the compassion shown to Everit during his time there.
