Ryan Edward Everette

In Loving Memory of Ryan E. Everette

June 20, 1998-October 13, 2025

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18

Ryan Everette, beloved son, husband, father, grandson, and friend, passed away surrounded by the love of his family. From an early age, Ryan had a special connection to the water and the great outdoors. He loved to hunt and fish, always happiest when he was outside enjoying the beauty of nature. As a child, his imagination was boundless—he often played with his imaginary best friend, George Strait, and carried his beloved blankie everywhere he went, filling his days with laughter and adventure.

Ryan was of the Catholic Faith, and he attended Catholic schools throughout his life, where he built friendships and a strong foundation of faith that guided him through life.

He was a devoted father whose greatest joy was loving and caring for his daughter, Rosalie. Watching Ryan with her was a beautiful reflection of his gentle heart. He found the love of his life in Talia, who he proposed to in June of this year. Their love was deep and unwavering. Talia remained faithfully by his side throughout his entire stay in the hospital, leaving only to care for their precious daughter.

Ryan worked hard and gave his all in everything he did. He was always willing to lend a hand and help his family in any way possible. Outgoing and full of life, Ryan could strike up a conversation with anyone, turning strangers into friends with his warm smile and easygoing nature. He was a devoted Cowboys fan and often attended games.

It truly took a village to raise Ryan, and that village—his family, extended relatives, and dear friends—loved and supported him deeply. His passing is a loss felt by many, but his spirit lives on in the countless lives he touched.

In an act of profound generosity and love, Ryan chose to be an organ donor. Through this selfless gift, he turned tragedy into something beautiful, giving the gift of life to others and ensuring that a part of him continues to bring hope to others.

We find comfort knowing that Ryan is now resting in the arms of Jesus, healed and whole, and we hold on to the promise that we will meet again one day in heaven.

Ryan was preceded in death by his great grandparents, James and Helen Everette, William and Betty Garland, George and Lennis Pizzitola, and Walter Ryan Sr., and Uncle; Chris Coleman.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Talia Everette, and their cherished daughter, Rosalie Everette.

He was also survived by his father, Brandon Everette, and wife, Irene Everette; his mother, Tiffany Pizzitola and husband, Zach Bundick; his brothers, Austen, Aiden, and Ashten Everette, Daniel and Nathan Kline, and Grayson Bundick.

Ryan was blessed with many loving grandparents and great-grandparents, including Rene and Marty Cantu, Carolyn and Chris Rhule, Terri and Harold Everette, Joan Ryan, and Edward and Angela Pizzitola.

He will be deeply missed by his aunt, Georgina Murphy and her husband, Conner Murphy, aunt, Elizabeth Pizzitola and her fiancé, Jake Funkhouser, and aunt, Allie Pizzitola. His uncle, Rene Cantu and wife, Rachel Cantu, and uncle, Joshua Everette, and aunt, Heather Everette along with numerous extended family members and friends who loved him dearly.
