The family requests that memorial contributions be made to the Salvation Army in memory of Everett.
He was a beautiful and sensitive spirit, a brilliant mind, and was quite possibly, the funniest person to have ever lived. A lovely and talented musician as well. He also had one of the best music tastes, and always had his finger on the pulse of new and underground music. I will miss him and regret not talking to him as often in the past 5 years. Again, I will miss him and the world who did not get the opportunity to meet and befriend him, they missed out on something very special in Everett Vance.
