I first met this fine man when when my granfather, Hezzie Fisher, was ill. He was so kind. Everett was very special, purely kind and good. I remember being instantly struck by how sincere he was. My mother Carolyn (Fisher) Fuller has always held him (and Barbara) in the highest regard. Heaven is blessed by his presence. In the last many months, mom said when Everett entered his beloved church... his face almost glowed. Anyone that ever knew him, if only for a moment, was blessed.

Dear Babara and Family:
My heart goes out to you and your family. You have suffered a great loss, but heaven has gained a wonderfull man. Anyone who has ever met him, knew what a great person he was. I have never met anyone so full of kindness as your husband. He allways had a smile and a friendly hello every time he would see you, allways asking if he could do anything to help you out. He probally pulled Seth's golf cart out of the mud more than a few times, and when my boys were little, he showed up every christmas with a bag of goodies for them. He was a very special man. And not only will he be missed by his family, but by anyone who had the pleasure to know him. Respected and Loved by all. Gods Speed Mr. Frizzell. Your rest was well earned.
The Ebberts Family.

Steve and Gail, I will always remember your dad as our church songleader and leading my grandpa and dad to Jesus! He wanted to do God's work and was a great community leader. Your mom will need strength from you in these days to come. I will continue to pray for all of you.

Steve and Gail, Your dad was such a special man and I will always remember him as our song leader in church. He helped lead my Grandpa and Dad as they asked Jesus into their hearts! He is to be remembered as a good church and community leader. You have all been in my prayers and I know your mom will have a hard time without him. You will have each other to draw strength and remember quality family times.

Gail,
Your father certainly taught us how to let your light shine. I know how you will miss him, but he is with Jesus now and what more could we ask. My prayers of comfort are with you.

What I remember about Everett is when my grandma, Mary Jones, worked at the shelter care center in Dongola he would come into the home and we would sing hymns with the residents. He was always so nice to them and in my heart I still hold one of my favorite hymns that was taught to me by him. Standing on the Promises...I will never again hear this song that I don't think of him. He will be missed by many.
