The first of nine siblings, Everett leaves behind one son in Virginia, his one-year-old twins, and his wife Ursula in Los Angeles, California. They married in 2020 and bought a home to raise their twins in. Everett loved his family. When he was younger, he wanted to be a musician, and if you asked him to, he would pick up a guitar to show you the songs he wrote to his children to sing them to sleep. He was an exceptional cook, getting excited about new ingredients found in hole-in-the-wall stores, and he would make sure you had a plate to try whatever he was putting together. He had a talent for making people laugh, and he felt most at home when he had made you smile. The suddenness of Everett's passing has rocked the family. We ask for your help in trying to cover the cost of a funeral to celebrate his life and mourn his passing, and to help ease the transition as his wife and children move across the country to be closer to family. We so appreciate your support, as any amount you give will help us to afford the days ahead. Thank you, The Byram Family" | |||
