I will miss him dearly, but know our families will continue our bond. I thank God for bringing our families together. Sammie Pringle, Sr.

Mr. Everett has been a tremendous source of inspiration for hundreds of young people, including myself. His dedication to our growth and success goes beyond teaching; he genuinely invests in each of us, always striving to bring out our best. Through his guidance, we've learned invaluable lessons that extend far beyond academics. He approaches his work with passion and commitment, never hesitating to go the extra mile. His influence will be felt for generations, as the values and principles he instilled in us will continue to inspire those who follow. Mr. Everett will leave a legacy of greatness that we will carry with pride, honoring the impact he made on our lives. Carolyn Smith Williams, one proud Houston Hill Hurricane

Who will teach me Sunday school now? I joined Mount Zion at 9 years old, and CP has been a wonderful light in my life. I joined his Sunday school class when I was a teenager and for almost 32 years, he has been my teacher. Not only was he a wonderful teacher, but while being a student at Georgia Washington, he was a wonderful principal. He voted me in to become a preacher, and he always encourage me to keep going in my studies. Sunday school will never be the same. His seat will be missed. I did not have my physical father, but he was the light that I always needed. To the children, thank you for sharing your dad! Not sure how I will go on in my studies as a child of God, but I'm sure I will. Sunday school was not just a event to attend or a place to go, but a preparation for Worship. CP sure did help prepare my mind and heart for a wonderful worship experience.

Sincere condolences to the Everett Family. C. P. as we called him. He and I were schoolmates at Saint Jude Educational Institute. Praying πŸ™ that the Lord will strengthen you all during this difficult time. Just keep on trusting in God and He will make everything alright. Rest Well, C. P.πŸ•ŠοΈβ€οΈπŸ•ŠοΈβ€οΈπŸ•ŠοΈβ€οΈπŸ•ŠοΈ Leontyne Provo Pringle - Ramer, Alabama

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of my principal at Southlawn Middle for a short 6 month term. He was the kindest person one would want to meet. He care about all the children and the staff. He always kept a smile on his face. He will be missed as an educator and administrator. Sleep peacefully Mr. Everett in the arms of Jesus. Ms. Pettway

Mr. Everett will always be remembered as one of the best administrators in Montgomery. We love you and will miss you. Love, The Forbes Family

He was a competent and personally pleasant person at all times. In a different time, he would be a great candidate for Montgomery Public School Superintendent

I am proud to say I was covered under Mr. Everett's wings. A great man has taken his rest. Let us all be inspired by his labor and celebrate his reward. God rest your soul, Mr. Everett. We love you.

Best principal ever at Houston Hill Jr High School He made school safe and I remember on Monday we had a reflection moment of silence he was the best! Sending my condolences to the family

I am absolutely "CRUSHED" and saddened by "CP's" passing! I talked to him a few months ago and he sounded liked he did over sixty years ago! We pledged together at Tuskegee. He was so proud of his family and family history, as well as his church and community history. One of the last comments I made to him was to give Freda a kiss on her forehead. Freda and the Everett Family & Friends, I am sincerely sorry; but, I will treasure my memories of "CP" especially our last two-hour, two-part conversation! I called him while he was away from home; and, he called me back from home soon thereafter. In the latter years, we spent some memorial days on Tuskegee's Campus and Montgomery. Although, many years have passed, I will always remember "CP."

Professor Ronald Boyd

My Prayers and Condolences go out to the family! I've known CP, all my life. Whenever I see him he's always the same smiling man. Rest In Peace old friend!

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
