Se graduó de Arvin High School con la generación de 1978. Poco después de terminar la preparatoria, contrajo matrimonio con el amor de su vida, Minerva Gonzalez. Juntos compartieron 47 años de matrimonio, construyendo una hermosa vida y formando una familia.

Everardo dedicó su carrera a trabajar como técnico de almacén en la industria de refinerías. Trabajador incansable y proveedor dedicado, se enorgullecía profundamente de asegurarse de que a su familia nunca le faltara nada y de que siempre estuviera bien cuidada. Su gran ética de trabajo fue uno de los muchos valores que transmitió a sus hijos, dejando un ejemplo que continuará vivo en sus nietos y en las futuras generaciones.

Quienes conocieron a Everardo saben que realmente sabía disfrutar de la vida. Le encantaban los Dallas Cowboys, la música, bailar, la buena comida y pasar tiempo rodeado de familiares y amigos. Con frecuencia era el alma de la fiesta, llevando energía, risas y alegría a dondequiera que iba.

Everardo tenía un cariño muy especial por la música de Selena y podía pasar horas escuchando sus canciones. Su admiración por ella era tan conocida que incluso le dedicó su camioneta. La camioneta llegó a ser inconfundible; cuando la gente la veía venir por la calle, sabía que Everardo estaba por llegar.

También sentía un enorme orgullo por sus vehículos. Coleccionar, limpiar y cuidar sus camionetas era uno de sus pasatiempos favoritos, y siempre las mantenía en condiciones impecables. Everardo también era un verdadero amante de la buena comida, disfrutaba probar nuevos platillos y rara vez rechazaba la oportunidad de disfrutar de una buena comida.

Le encantaba la moda y disfrutaba coleccionar botas y joyería. Everardo se enorgullecía de lucir siempre lo mejor posible y era conocido por vestir bien. Sin embargo, más que cualquier otra cosa, su mayor alegría era estar rodeado de las personas que amaba. Las reuniones con familiares y amigos fueron el escenario de algunos de sus momentos más felices y de sus recuerdos más preciados.

Everardo fue precedido en la muerte por sus padres, Guadalupe Rodriguez y Meliton Valdez; su hermano, Edilberto Valdez; y su hermana, Elideth Valdez.

Deja para honrar y atesorar su memoria a su amada esposa de 47 años, Minerva; sus hijos, Everardo Jr. y su esposa Liliana, Melissa Gutierrez y su esposo Miguel Angel, y Arnaldo Valdez; sus nietos, Evelyn Fonseca, Larissa Fonseca y su esposo Jesus, Alexis Fonseca y Julian Valdez; sus bisnietos, Evan, Elian y Johan Jesus, quien está próximo a llegar; sus hermanos, Eleiser Valdez y Elizabeth Valdez; sus ahijados, Jessica, Hector Jr., Nora Leticia, Osiel, Jose, Marlen, Janelli, Eliseo, Nelida, Fidencio, Kaitlyn y Destiny; además de numerosos sobrinos, sobrinas, primos, familiares y muchos queridos amigos.

Everardo será recordado por su espíritu trabajador, su personalidad extraordinaria, su amor por la música y el baile, su estilo inconfundible y la alegría que brindaba a quienes lo rodeaban. Por encima de todo, será recordado por el inmenso amor que sentía por su familia, por la vida y los recuerdos que construyeron juntos. Su presencia será profundamente extrañada, pero el amor, las risas y las enseñanzas que deja permanecerán para siempre en los corazones de quienes tuvieron la dicha de conocerlo y amarlo.
