Evert was a member of Impact Church in Alma, Arkansas. He was a longtime rancher and oilfield worker. Evert loved his wife, all his kids, kid’s spouses, and always made time for everyone. He put everyone else first. Evert also loved cattle, fast horses, and working in the pasture. He had a strong handshake and always worked extremely hard. You would hear him say “gotta stay hooked and make a hand”. You never had to wonder what he thought, but he was always kind and respectful. Evert liked watching the grandkids do anything and he was always there. He also loved playing in the floor with Reeve. He was a veteran of the United States Army, where he served his country during the Vietnam Era. Evert was a loving husband, father, PawPaw, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend. He will be deeply missed by all that loved and knew him. He is no longer in pain instead he is now driving cattle on Old Bill with Poppy and going to the house to see MawMaw and Chrissy.
