Richard Ivan Everett

Richard “Dick” Ivan Everett passed away on the morning of August 7, 2023 in Bountiful, Utah at the young age of 91, after enduring 6 years with multiple myeloma cancer. Dick was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Gladys and Ivan Everett. He grew up in Bountiful, the oldest of 5 boys. His life focused on hard work and his first job was to help his dad shovel coal off the wagon when he was just a small boy. From there he worked on farms, laid brick, built homes, and sold real-estate. Toward the end of his career, he worked as a contractor for Winegar’s grocery store and a mechanic for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After retiring, he went back to school at the age of 71 and obtained his pharmacy tech license. He worked for Rite-Aid pharmacy for a short time after.   
Throughout the years, he loved to garden and share all of the produce with neighbors and friends. After retiring, you could find him on the golf course with his buddies or creating a cutting board, stool, or bookshelf in his wood working shop. Most of all, Dick loved his family and was a very proud father and grandpa. 
He is survived by all of his 11 children, 3 of his 4 step children and 2 brothers: CK Wilson (Ken), Janell Brown, Sonia (Ernie) Pierce, Connie Everett, Martin Everett (Hideko), Marvin Everett (Paula), Rick Everett (Tina), Jodi Lemon (Ben), Raunde Thurgood (Burke), Miri Stevens (Phil), Kristi Everett, Greg Kiester (Laurie), Tammy Olsen, Stacy Kiester, brothers Bob and Keith Everett (Diane), and current wife Vicki Everett.
