Everett was born January 31, 1958, in Bloomington, to Clifford D. Locke and Betty J. Kearfott. Survivors include a son, James E. (Emma) Locke, of Bloomington; a sister, Betty J.

Everett was a member of the Hudson Christian Church and was employed by Whitacre's Furniture in Hudson for over 20 years. He will be remembered as a collector of arrowheads, random knowledge, and a smart comment for every situation. 

He was a wonderful brother, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend. He will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure to know and love him up until the end.
