Our hearts are broken as we share the devastating loss of Everett Deaver, a precious 7-year-old boy whose life was taken far too soon. No family is ever prepared for the unimaginable pain of losing a child, and during this incredibly difficult time, they are facing not only overwhelming grief but also unexpected financial burdens.

Everett was the sweetest boy, with a heart big enough for everyone he met. He had a special gift for making friends wherever he went and could light up a room with his smile and infectious spirit. He loved animals, coloring, and drawing, and his imagination knew no bounds. He loved to fish, and if there was a tree nearby, you could count on Everett to be climbing it. He embraced life with endless curiosity, energy, and joy, and he loved everyone with his whole heart. In his seven short years, Everett touched countless lives with his kindness, laughter, and beautiful spirit. He will be deeply missed and forever loved by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

We are raising funds to help cover Everett's funeral and burial expenses, as well as the medical bills that were incurred during the desperate efforts to save his life. Every possible measure was taken in hopes of bringing him back to his family, and those lifesaving efforts have resulted in significant medical expenses.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial burden on Everett's family so they can focus on mourning their beloved son and honoring his memory. My name is Rachael Markham, I created this fundraiser to help my family financially in this time of need. All donations will go directly to my aunt and be used to help cover burial and funeral expenses. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean the world to the family.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, prayers, and support during this heartbreaking time. Your compassion will help provide Everett with the beautiful farewell he deserves while surrounding his family with love as they navigate this unimaginable loss.

Though his time with us was far too short, Everett's bright smile, adventurous spirit, and loving heart will never be forgotten. His memory will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved him.
