Everett George Blair


Everett George Blair, 84, of Seminole, Florida, is now “absent from the body and present with the Lord” upon passing away on March 18, 2018, at Comprehensive Healthcare of Clearwater, after a six-month struggle to recover from a stroke.

He was a beloved husband of 59 years to Marian who survived him for three years, and dearly loved father to both his surviving children, Mike and Sharon, and grandfather to their combined five children. He is also survived by three younger brothers, their families, and the family of his older brother Kendall who predeceased him.

Everett was born in Polo, Illinois, graduated high school there, then went on to graduate from Iowa State University with an engineering degree. He enlisted in the United States Army on Feb 5, 1952, was stationed in the Panama Canal Zone, and met Marian there. He was employed as a mechanical engineer briefly by Sunstrand in Rockford, Illinois, and Warner Electric before moving to Indiana to work for Schwitzer until retirement.

Upon retirement, he and Marian moved to Florida and worked at D&D Missionary Homes, volunteered with the Gideons, attended Grace Bible Church, added many new friends to their circle, and traveled both internationally and in their RV to visit family and friends.

Interment was in Dixon, Illinois, followed by a Cub game at Wrigley Field to lovingly remember our life-long Cub fan. Memorial donations may be made to the Gideons International-St. Petersburg West Campus, P.O. Box 11555, St. Petersburg, FL 33733 to fund Bibles, or to San Blas Medical Mission-Kuna Ag Foundation, P.O. Box 1039, Penney Farms, FL 32079.
