Born in Edmonton, Everett grew up in Winnipeg, MB. Everett loved to travel and in his younger years had played saxophone and clarinet for several big bands. He enjoyed country life and had small farms at Balmoral and for many years at Rockwood. Everett had travelled much of Western Canada and the U.S.A. with his camper-trailer or by motor home. He always enjoyed sports and in his later years spent many hours listening to the Jets, Bombers, Moose and Goldeyes on the radio. Although the body was failing, Everett still managed to maintain a keen interest in current events and what was going on in the world around him.
