Everett Havemann, 88, passed away on May 14, 2026. Born April 16, 1938, on a farm in Fayetteville, Texas to Erwin & Enda Havemann, Everett carried forward the steady values of his upbringing—meeting life with quiet strength, honest work, and a gentle, kind-hearted way of being that others came to rely on and cherish. A faithful presence in the lives of those who knew him, he will be remembered with deep respect and enduring affection.
Everett devoted 38 years of hard-working service to Exxon, building a life marked by consistency, integrity, and generosity of spirit. He enjoyed his retirement, and those years reflected the same wisdom and steadiness that defined his working life—never seeking attention, yet leaving an unmistakable impression through the simple, reliable ways he showed up for others.
Everett was married to Lucille Havemann for 50 years, and their life together stood as a testament to devotion and enduring love. He was preceded in death by his wife, Lucille Havemann. Everett’s family was his pride and joy, and his care for them was evident in countless everyday moments—offered with warmth, patience, and the kind of guidance that inspires without needing to be loud. He is survived by his children: Stephen Havemann (Vivian Havemann), Christopher Havemann (Cyndee Sanders), Deborah Havemann, and Craig Havemann.
He is also survived by his grandchildren: Amy Havemann, Cindy Moore (Brett Moore), Jason Havemann (Lupita Havemann), Jared Havemann, Katie Havemann, Elena Havemann, and Jake Everett Havemann; and by his great-grandchildren: Olivia Havemann, Wyatt Havemann, and Aiden Everett Moore.
Everett found joy in the things that mattered most—family, golf, fishing, and woodworking. In these simple pleasures, his gentle nature and generous heart were often on display, whether he was sharing time, lending a hand, or offering the kind of steady companionship that made others feel at ease. He was, in the best sense, a character—beloved and cherished for his quick wit, his humorous spirit, and the way a funny comeback could arrive at just the right moment. Many will remember not only what he did, but how he made people feel: welcomed, understood, and glad to be in his company.
In keeping with Everett’s own words and the legacy he leaves behind: “Please play a round of golf, go fishing with your family or buds, or pop open a Diet Coke and think of Dad.”
Pallbearers will be Stephen Havemann, Christopher Havemann, Craig Havemann, Jason Havemann, Jake Everett Havemann.
