Everett McDiarmid Obituary

Everett McDiarmid Eagle Everett McDiarmid, age 83, passed away peacefully, surrounded by all his loving family at home just minutes after his birthday on April 15, 2010.

Everett will be greatly missed by his wife of 60 years, Jeanne; daughters, Deborah (Steven) Carlson and Melody (Gerald) McGinn; son, Randy (Pamela) McDiarmid; six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

His brothers and sisters who still live to honor his memory are Bill, Joyce (Ron) Neeb, Bernard (Beverly), Linda (David) Suntkin, Doris (Walter) Thornton and Lyle (Marge); also survived by many nieces and nephews whom he loved and taught. Everett was a great storyteller. He loved hunting, fishing and building things, but more than anything he loved to work. He was employed at Grand Ledge Clay Products for 20 years and then worked for Clark Construction 22 years, while farming on the side. Everett was a Veteran of WWII, having served in the U.S. Army. He will be remembered by so many and will live on in his stories and good values that he instilled in those he knew.

Everett was one of the best labor foremans I ever worked with at Clark. He was a good man and a hard worker. I will miss him. After I retired from construction I moved back to the U.P. and lost touch with many I had worked with.
