Obituary for Shawn L. Everett
Shawn L. Everett, 56, of Kunkletown, passed away Saturday, November 19, in Temple University Hospital-Jeanes Campus.
He was the loving husband of Lisa D. (Kresge) Everett. They celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary in August.
Born in Lehighton, he was the son of the late H. Lee Everett and the late Barbara (Van Why) Everett.
He was a member of St. Matthew's UCC in Kunkletown.
Shawn’s priority was always his family and friends; he would help anyone and loved everyone beyond measure. He enjoyed traveling, cooking, and eating at new places. He also loved camping, singing at the top of his lungs, reminiscing about old times, tackling renovation projects, and appreciating the beauty of nature. Plumbing was his passion, and he could outwork anyone, earning himself the nickname of “Ox”. These last few months proved just how strong he was. He’s finally at peace with his beloved dog, Buster, and all of his loved ones who went before him. His strong presence will be sorely missed by so many.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughter, Krystle Meglio and her husband Dominick of Saylorsburg; two brothers, H. Scott Everett and his wife Wendy of Whitehall, Steven Everett of Billings, MT; a sister, Stacy Meckes and her husband Michael of Kunkletown; his in-laws, Sterling and Ellen Kresge; 2 goddaughters; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
A viewing will be held on Friday, November 25 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM from the Kresge Funeral Home, 1763 Route 209, Brodheadsville. Funeral services will follow at 1:00 PM with Rev. Deborah Scheffey officiating. Burial will follow in St. Matthew's Cemetery.
