He and his wife, Frances Ruth Daughetee, were married for 72 years. They were best friends and made the most of every day. Throughout their life, they were adventurers. Their motto: "Never take the same road twice". They were fortunate enough to make countless friends along their journeys, many of whom became their extended family.
We will miss Evert's joy, that twinkly and mischievous look in his eyes, his constant singing and his resolute faith in Jesus.
He is survived by his wife, Ruth, their daughters (Vivian Daughetee Purkis and Dañia Heffington), his son in-laws (Dan Purkis and Mike Heffington), his grandchildren (Brian Chism, Kendall Chism, Charity Chism, N'Kisha Manske and Anndréa Heffington) and his great-grandchildren (Elexa Chism, Tyler Chism, Samantha Chism, Isaac Armstrong, Trason Armstrong and Aeris Armstrong).
