BAILEY: William Everett - It is with great sadness that our family announces the sudden passing of Everett Bailey in his 53rd year. Much loved son of William (Bill) and Carol Bailey. Dedicated brother to his younger sister Lauren Bailey of Barrie, Ont. Adored nephew of Jane Booth (Robert Booth) and Valerie White (Michael White). Survived by his partner, Crystal Howden. From infancy, Everett loved the water. He excelled academically and in sports in schooling and enjoyed the social opportunities growing up on Ryerse Crescent, playing hockey and competitively swimming and boating with family and friends or skating on the river. Everett showed an incredible aptitude for understanding and fixing things as a child; something he inherited from Grandpa Ray in Sterling, Ontario which led to a part-time summer job with Harry Gamble Sr. and Jeff and Mark Gamble. Everett attended Fanshawe College and graduated as a Diesel Mechanic. His expertise grew over the years through local opportunities and aptitude. Everett eventually created his own business and operated Bailey Mechanical. His expertise was accessed all over the world including as far away as Saudi Arabia. He truly had a gift. Another gift was his love for socializing with his family and many friends, all of whom will greatly miss his humour and generosity. The family is very grateful for the outpouring of sentiment, condolences, and offerings since his passing. SERENITY BURIAL AND CREMATION SERVICES INC 361 Main Street, Port Dover (226)290-9093 have been entrusted with the arrangements. Cremation has taken place. For those who wish to do something, we would suggest a donation to the Humane Society, 24 Grigg Dr, Simcoe, Ontario N3Y 4L1 because of his lifelong love of dogs.
