Thomas M. Everett, 80, of Sylvania, OH, passed away Saturday, April 2, 2016, at St. Anne's Hospital.
Tom was born September 30, 1935, in Toledo, OH, to parents Carroll “Jack” and Velma (Johnson) Everett. He was a 1955 graduate of Burnham High School. Tom enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1956, and was Honorably Discharged in 1962. He began his career working at the Allen V. Smith Company. Tom's father-in-law encouraged him to work in construction. He took that advice and knowledge and became an independent home builder and remodeler. Tom and his wife Bonnie did room additions all over the area, making countless friends along the way.
He is survived by his loving wife of more than 57 years, Bonnie (Renshler) Everett; children, Tad (Donna) Everett, Teri Dress, and Thomas Carroll (Janice) Everett; grandchildren, Melanie (Chris) Evanoff, David and Deanna Dress, and Kylie, Sydney, Alyssa and Breanne Everett; brother, Donald (Alice) Everett; sister, Janice Geisinger; and mother-in-law, Anna M.

Tom Everett was many things to different people, to his family he was the rock always willing to help, to his grandchildren a staunch supporter, who attended sporting events, volunteered at schools and was always there. He took pride looking after his neighbors, making sure everyone was safe, and to the rest of us he was an honest man who could always be counted on.
