William L. Everman, 81, of Gas City, passed away in his home at 2:35 pm on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. He was born in Logansport, Indiana, on Sunday, February 27, 1944, to Robert and Margaret (Kesler) Everman. On February 29th, 2000, he married Jennie Snyder, who survives.
William attended Mentone High School. He was a proud United States Marine, carrying that honor with him throughout his life. His dedication to service and community was reflected in his lifetime memberships with American Legion Post 95, VFW Post 60, and Fairmount Lodge 635 of the Freemasons. Since 2012, he was also a member of the Disabled American Veterans, as well as the Sheriff’s Association and the Marine Corps League. Professionally, he worked for J&J Erectors in Marion and devoted 55 years to the Operators Union, a testament to his loyalty and work ethic. He was also a great car show enthusiast. Beyond his service, work and affiliations, he gave generously to numerous organizations, but his heart was especially tied to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, ensuring joy for children and continuing the spirit of giving that defined his life. .
