Everett worked as a mechanic for many years at Condon Buick, and most recently had been employed at Malloy Electric.

He had a nickname for everyone he came into contact with; he loved anything with wheels, fishing, and riding his motorcycle or go karts. He had the biggest heart of anyone, and was the world’s best mechanic.
He cherished the time he could spend with his family, especially the time he was with his grandchildren. He was a very spiritual individual who could quote bible verses for every situation that come up.

Everett’s life and memories will be cherished by his family which includes his wife Kandace of Sioux City, his three daughters: Nicole Clay fiancée (Varian), Traci Clay fiancé (Kevin) and Mindy Clay and her fiancée Rev all of Sioux City.
