The loss of Fr. Everette Pearson is felt by many. We will remember him always and often. We worked together with the students at St. Benedict the Moor; he officiated over Donald's and my 30th Wedding Anniversary, and helped me with students at Archbishop Carroll High School. A most dependable friend.

Father Pearson , you were more than a priest to me. You were an older kid that sometimes walked with me and my siblings to school. You were my basketball coach at Nativity. You were a young adult advisor when I was in the teen club. You were instant offense in pick up basketball games and the best driver Rock Creek Park has ever had on its roads. Everett, you were a great friend and you will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace

I have known Father Everett since the day he baptized me. He was a wonderful man with much love to share and a big heart; I always distinctly remember him playing and singings songs during Mass. When I was little, my friends and I would go up and give him a hug during Peace. He will be missed. My condolences are with the rest of our Parish and his Family.
