Everett Fox Obituary

Everett Fox

March 16, 1933 - August 13, 2025

Modesto, California - Born in 1933, Everett Fox proudly served as a Corporal in the National Guard before building a life filled with hard work, laughter, and love. He raised five children, enjoyed scrap metaling, recycling, and lending a hand wherever needed. He loved irrigating his land and sending out nuts from his trees each year to family and friends. For years he was dedicated to Sunday breakfasts at the VFW Hall, and for the last 4 years shared them beside his friend John. Known for his humor, generosity, and fondness for a good glass of whiskey, he stayed busy and independent all the way to 92. He leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and grit that will never be forgotten.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Pop ( Everett ) was a one of a kind man. He would help anyone at any time if he was able to . My sisters and I ( Sharon, Peggy Patti, and Sheila ) loved him like a second dad. He brought us a lot of love and laughter. He loved our mom Rosie immensely and for that we are grateful. I'm sure she greeted him with open arms. Pop will be missed by many
