Paul Dean Everett

Paul Dean Everett, affectionately known as Dean, passed away peacefully on November 27, 2025, in his hometown of Dothan, Alabama, at the age of 61. He was a man of great humor and generosity, whose loving nature touched the lives of all who knew him.

Dean was born on June 26, 1964, in Dothan, to Anne Everett and the late Paul Durwood Everett. He was a lifelong resident of the city, a place he cherished and where he formed countless cherished memories. Dean was a graduate of the local schools, where he formed the foundation of a life filled with laughter and kindness.

For 33 years, Dean was a dedicated employee at Dunbarton, working diligently in shipping and receiving until his well-deserved retirement. His colleagues knew him as a hard worker who could always be counted upon to lighten the mood with his jokes and quick wit. Dean was also an active member of the company's softball team, bringing his love for sports and camaraderie to the field.

Dean's passion for life extended beyond work. He was an avid Alabama football fan, and during the season, his voice could be heard cheering and sometimes chiding his beloved team through the television screen. His love for the outdoors was evident in his enjoyment of fishing, where he found both excitement and solace.

Above all, Dean was a family man. His presence was a source of joy at family gatherings, and he loved nothing more than spending quality time with his loved ones. He is survived by his children, Jonathan Everett and Deana (Mark) Bush; his six grandchildren, Lilliona Money, Nichole Shipes, Jace Everett, Bryson Creel, Addie McCord, and Harper Bush; his mother, Anne Everett; his brothers, Greg (Patty) Everett and Steve Everett; his sister, Dawn Everett; and several nieces and nephews. His father, Paul Durwood Everett, preceded him in death.

Those who knew Dean will remember him as the life of the party, a man who could always be counted on for a good laugh, a generous act, or a shoulder to lean on. His kind heart and loving spirit were his trademarks, and he will be greatly missed by all.

A celebration of Dean's life will take place at 2:30 pm on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at Sunset Funeral Home Chapel with Jay Everett officiating. Friends and family are invited to gather and share memories from 1:30 pm until the time of service.

Dean's legacy of laughter, generosity, and love will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind. As we say goodbye to a man who was truly the best of us, we take comfort in knowing that his spirit will continue to inspire us every day.
