Everett Mendenall Obituary

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Butch was a very "special person" to me. We dated back in our high school days at Sullivan, we had so much fun togather! I will always keep my special memories with him close to my heart. We did alot of fun things togather. He was a very loving and caring guy. I will see you some day when I get to Heaven. May god bless all that knew him, I know it was such a blessing the time that I knew him.

Hey everyone, i have been out of town but wanted to let you all know that butch was always a good friend and good to me and i will always have a spot in my heart for him from all the good times that we had (concerts with mike, dave, ruth, sam,etc) i hope that you all are doing ok and I wish everyone the best, I will always remember Butch and the good times.

Memories are what serve our emotions and i have many memories of the time i was with butch... My heart is with the ones left behind for those are the ones who are touched by his death.

Amy & David Dean,

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle. I think of you often, may time bring you peace and understanding.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I was friends with Butch when you all lived in Sullivan. Went to church with him, ran around with him. I will always rememer his laughter and the silly things we would do. Such fun. Thanks for the memories, Butch, you will be missed.

Sorry to hear about your loss may God go with your family in your hour of need.

So sorry for your loss. Pauline Bly and family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.





I remember Butch always with a smile on his face and laughter in his heart and always making people laugh. We'll all miss you Butch......

May God find you all comfort in this time of sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sheila, Kim, Kelley & family - I am so sorry for this tragic loss. I will always remember Butch for his caring heart and sense of humor. He will certainly be missed. My prayers go out to all of you. ~ Kelly Jane
