Joel Allen EVERRETT

EVERRETT, Joel Allen - Passed suddenly at the Toronto Western Hospital on January 11, 2008, as the result of a tragic fall in his residence in Port Colborne, in his 47th year. Joel is the beloved son of John and Louise, and brother of Tom (Cathy) and John (Mary); adored by his daughter, Emily and his nephew Tom and nieces Vanessa, Courtney, and Deana. He will be missed by his only aunt and uncle, Shirley and Keith and the Kirwan cousins. Emily, his precious daughter, was his deepest love and the pride of his short life. Recollecting the recent Christmas family gathering is especially bittersweet and poignant since Joel appeared happier than ever in his new job (Lakeside Steel) and hopeful prospects for the future. Many of Joel's interests were sports-centered either as a player, of hockey, golf, slo-pitch or darts, or even as a devoted fan of his favourite Canadiens or Seahawks. Chances are that any of these events would often be tied in with sharing a pint with buddies at his second home (Trappers) or at his own garage ‘sport centre'. His love of people covered as well, his work associates and his good neighbours. Whether it was his friendliness, humour, kindness or generosity, he was normally a fun and wonderful guy to be around. He will be missed! The family will receive friends at the H.L. CUDNEY FUNERAL HOME, 241 West Main Street, Welland, on Thursday, January 17th from 2-4 pm and 7-9p.m. A memorial celebration of Joel's life will be held at the Welland Lion's Club Hall, 414 River Road, on Friday, January 18th from 12 Noon - 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Welland Hospital Foundation would be appreciated by the Everrett family. 10961038
