Everett was born August 14, 1957, in Kansas City, MO, the son of Everett Brown Jr. and Freddie Mae Brown. He graduated high school in St. Louis and attended Forest Park College. He enjoyed jogging, boxing, and being outdoors. Everett was a “family man” above all else. He was the most positive and influential person if you ever had the chance to meet him.
Everett was a strong man; mentally, physically, and emotionally, and was kind, loving and caring. He believed that fear didn’t exist, and said, “We put fear in ourselves.” Everett’s advice was: if you start something, never leave it unfinished, even if you don’t like the outcome. Don’t procrastinate, because you will never get that time back. Always think positive because + is double the -. Always love and cherish your family, mainly the ones that cherish you.
