Chad Everett Obituary
Everett's daughter, Katherine Thorp, said he died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles after a year-and-a-half-long battle with lung cancer.
Everett played sensitive doctor Joe Gannon for seven years on "Medical Center." The role earned him two Golden Globes and an Emmy nomination.
With a career spanning more than 40 years, Everett guest starred on such TV series as "The Love Boat," ''Murder, She Wrote" and "Without a Trace." Everett most recently appeared in the TV series "Castle." His films credits included "The Jigsaw Murders," ''The Firechasers" and director Gus Van Sant's "Psycho."
Everett was born in South Bend, Ind., and graduated from Wayne State University before moving to Los Angeles and becoming a contract player with MGM.
In perhaps his most memorable recent film role, Everett played a lothario who engages in a steamy audition with a young ingénue portrayed by Naomi Watts in director David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive".
Everett is survived by his two daughters, Katherine and Shannon, and six grandchildren. He was married to actress Shelby Grant for 45 years until her death last year.

Loved Chad Everett. He was very good looking, very charming, and his personality was sincere.
Enjoyed every movie he stared in, and especially, Medical Center.
He will be greatly missed!
And I give my sincere condolences to his wife, family, and loved ones.

Dear Chad, You are sorely missed by me and thousands of admirers of your work as an actor and a humanitarian. You brought a smile to my face whenever I saw you on camera. Your love and devotion to your Shelby and your girls was awe inspiring. I can't wish you back to earth, so I just will thank God that he brought you home to heaven to spend your eternal life with Shelby. I cry happy tears!

I remember my parents watching Medical Center.My Dad was a Sunday School Teacher,so any programming my folks watched HAD to have a moral intent.I remember the open and theme music,but not the episodes.Watching now,the episodes are just as relevant today.Researching Chad and Shelby,I fell in love with them.Hollywood’s venue couldn’t hold their love back.Great to also know they loved GOD.I’m enjoying finding&watching their body of work.Rest in Christ

I loved Chad Everett on Medical Center when I was a child. I became a medical professional because of watching the cast. I was maybe 11-13, but strangely I understood the medical terms, although some of the cases or personal story went over my head. I lastly saw Mr. Everett on an episode of Supernatural, yes I´m older, but it was worth watching knowing that Mr. Everett would be a guest. Rest In Peace Mr. Everett I would like to express condolences to his family. Rest In Peace to Mrs. Grant.

Such a joy to watch on Medical Center. Wonderful is the word to describe him.

I've been a fan since his films during the 1960s ("Made in Paris" I watch weekly!) and have most of them except Johnny Tiger. He had a wonderful career and was a better actor than I think he was credited for. He certainly was a beautiful man and his blue eyes and dimples were mesmerizing . I have recently bought the entire Medical Center dvd collection and can't wait to start watching the series. Even at age 75 he was still strikingly handsome. May he rest in peace. He will not be forgotten.

just listened to a story about Mr. Everett on Moth Radio. What a special person he must have been to have befriended the young man. To the family of Mr. Everett, I hope he was as good to you as he was to that autistic man who thought your dad was the world.

Gods Love with You Mr. Chad Everett.
I was not sure of this as I was going through a difficult time in life during 2012. Looking Mr. Everett up just now, confirming what I didn't want to read.
I also remember Medical Center and just about every other Appearance that this Fine Actor was on. I too made sure to see the weekly Program (Medical Center), thinking what a Great Gentleman He Must Be!! Years later, I had the Pleasure of meeting Mr. Everett, as I grew up in the Neighborhood just South of His Home in Chatsworth Ca. He had stopped by our home just to take a look through it to see the new homes that were being built in his area. My Mother about passed out with Happiness when Mr. Everett pulled up in His Jensen (and what a COOL Car), parking out front (my mother was in the front yard gardening). Then introducing Himself, and after a little chat, My Mother then offered Him a Tour of Our home. Me being such a BIG FAN!! (my whole household was), I was truly So Excited to meet Him!! What a "Gem of a Man" He was, telling us of the home He and His wife had built just up in the neighborhood above ours. He also told us of the rebuild after a fire, creating a more Fire Resistant Home in the Process. So He had taken the time to be Very Neighbor-Like and So Gracious. It will always be Such A FINE MEMORY for my Family and myself.
To the Everett Family, They don't make men like this anymore, Looks, Talent, Morals and Just a Fine Gentleman! God's Love to You, and a Peaceful Rest With God Mr. Chad Everett...

Chad passed away five years ago today. I occasionally see Chad and Shelby on reruns of Tattletales, and I have all seven seasons of Medical Center. Their memory lives on.

I know a lot of time has passed since Chad Everett left this temporary place. I can't think of my growing up without watching Medical Center on Monday nights and it's been 41 years since I graduated from high school. Friends would have plans but I wouldn't miss an episode. I miss TV being like it was back when you could watch shows on TV with your kids and now grandchildren.
From what I know Chad Everett was such a fine man and especially for Hollywood. Even back in his prime time of acting, he and his wife, Shelby Grant, had a marriage based on love and it was unwavering for each other and the Lord. I respect the both of them immensely for upholding these values in a culture where most marriages do not last. They had a true love story.
May God bless Chad Everett's girls and his grandchildren.

I just recently found out you passed away in 2012. I was away with my family and didn't have social media that week. I grew up watching Medical Center and not only enjoyed the compassion you showed as a tv doctor but learned a lot about medical conditions. In my lifetime I was able to recognize ailments because of things I learned from your series. You are greatly missed. I wish I got the chance to meet you in person. Condolences to your family left behind. Debbie Nearing

My prayers are with your daughters and family. I was lucky enough to meet your Dad at the ACTS Benefit in Tampa Florida in 1986.

Your father passed away just one day before I lost my mom at the age of 77. I am feeling your pain. May God be with you both! I am still watching him in Medical Center as I just can't seem to stop!!

I am so sad to be learning of this! I can't believe Chad Everett died in 2012 and somehow I didn't hear about it. When other girls my age were 'in love' with Scott Baio and Willie Aames, I had only pictures of Chad Everett in my room. I hate that his daughters lost him so soon after losing their mom, but I'm sure that he just couldn't bear to be without her any longer. What a handsome, talented man he was...

So sorry to learn of the death of Chad Everett. Only found out after watching him on Castle tonight and then looked him up. I was fortunate to meet him at a Bert Convy Celebrity Tennis Tournament in the 1980s. He was such a nice man (good tennis player too! One of my favorite photos from there was of him playing.

To Chad Everett's family, I am very sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful actor & very handsome. I remember watching Medical Center every time it came on & drooling. I told my mother if I ever needed surgery I wanted him to be my doctor or operate on me. I would have rather he been my doctor then I could see his face.
A wonderful actor & may he rest in peace with Jesus. I understand his wife preceded him in death, now they are together again & watching over his family as their guardian angels.
He will be missed by millions but he will always be alive in our hearts. I do hope they put Medical Center on Memorable Entertainment, I will surely be there watching.
I pray God will give you the strength & comfort to get you through until you see your parents again.

How quickly this year has come and gone as I recall, as if it were yesterday, finding out the first love of my life, the one who had given me so much hope and inspiration to carry on, had departed this life and was now living in the house of the Lord in glory.
