Everett Allen Johnson (Shoowas.ein)

A kind man who loved sharing memories, smiled often, and gave warm hugs to his friends and family members, he will be greatly missed. He was an active member of the Russian Orthodox Church where he attended regularly and was the first Sub Deacon. Everett loved being social in his community, sharing stories, and joking that he looked like Santa Claus with his long white beard. He greatly enjoyed watching his favorite football team, the Baltimore Ravens, and would jokingly say he was an Eagle who loved the Ravens.
Everett was preceded in death by maternal grandparents Florence Peters and George Gamble, paternal grandparents Ann Charles and Harry Johnson, parents Agnes and Joseph Johnson Sr., siblings Virginia Sam, Cynthia Johnson, Georgianna Chercasen, and Audrey Sam. He is survived by siblings Cheryl Duncan, Josephine Johnson, Joseph Johnson Jr., Henry Johnson Sr., Norman Johnson Sr., Michael Johnson Sr., and Jacob Johnson, and his three daughters and 14 grandchildren.
Married for many years to Twylia Osborne, he leaves behind his three children, Christina Reynolds (Charles), Stacy Roberts (Dustin Endicott), and Cara DiCicco (Joshua). He treasured time he spent with his 14 grandchildren: Romeo Brouillette, Aaliyah Messmer, Tyson Messmer, Anna Watson, David Thompson, Makayla Peter, Kiana Kroto, Isiah Kroto, Mariah Kroto, Amelia DiCicco, Celena DiCicco, Dominic DiCicco, Gianna DiCicco, and Micah Burnham-Endicott. He loved sharing stories with his friends about each of them.
Pallbearers will be Chad Titell, Joey Williams, Robert Nelson, Brandon Littlefield, John Andrew, Jacob Payena, Charles Reynolds, Dustin Endicott, and Charles Brouillette.
