Frank Gray Everett

Frank Gray Everett, 89, of Goodlettsville, Tennessee, passed away on Thursday, December 5, 2024.  Born July 30, 1935, in Nashville, he was the son of the late Holland Womack Everett and Gertie Lou Smith Everett.  A dedicated and loving father, Frank embodied the essence of family values and was committed to ensuring that his loved ones always had what they needed. Known for his generous spirit, he touched the lives of many with his unwavering support and kind heart.

Frank served his country proudly in the United States Army, a testament to his strong sense of duty and patriotism. After his military service, he became known as a hard worker, applying his hands-on skills to a variety of trades. His passion for cars was unparalleled; he had an innate ability to diagnose a car's problem simply by listening. A devoted NASCAR fan and a self-proclaimed "Ford guy," Frank's enthusiasm for automobiles was only matched by his knack for being able to fix just about everything, except for a broken heart.  He was an active member of Luton's United Methodist Church and helped with repairs and upkeep the church needed over the years.

In addition to his love for cars, Frank cultivated a beautiful garden, showcasing his nurturing side and appreciation for nature's beauty. He was a man who found joy in simple pleasures and took pride in his work and home.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his siblings Geneva Bloodworth, Eldridge Everett, Betty Jean Gibbs, and Jerry Everett.  He was also preceded in death by the mother of his children, Peggy C. Everett.

Frank is survived by his cherished children, Cynthia E. Walter, Daniel Gray Everett, Angela K. Everett, and Thomas Randall (Doris) Everett. He also leaves behind his brother, Michael Everett, and a treasured legacy of grandchildren: Amy (Daven), Tina (Dean), Katie, April, and Rachael; great-grandchildren, including Kirsten, Dagen, Daxten, Scarlett Eden, Nathaniel, Oliver, Cooper, Holland and one more on the way; as well as great-great-grandchildren, Evie and Ellie.

He will be remembered not just for his talents but also for the love he shared and the strength he provided to those around him. Frank Gray Everett will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A memorial service will take place 11am Saturday, December 21, 2024, at Luton's United Methodist Church located at 8363 Old Springfield Pike, Goodlettsville, TN  37072.
