Mark Everts

Proudly serving our country in the United States Army as a Special Forces

(Green Beret) Medic. He served in three wars: Grenada, Panama, and the

first Gulf War. He was proud to be part of the 82nd Airborne Division. He

earned several medals including two Bronze Stars for his brave service.

He also earned several badges but was especially proud of his Master and

Combat Parachute Badges.

After his Army career he moved to Hawaii for 9 years to live the island life

and eventually made his way to California where he met his wife, Rosetta

Gigliello.

Mark was an amazingly smart and strong man. Mark’s art outlets included

wood sculpting, painting, carving, drawing and pottery making. Cigars,

scotch, golf, travel, cooking and time on the lake boating were his

downtime pleasures. He was creative and ingenious. He was truly a

renaissance man. Mark was loving, caring, and adored by anyone who met

him. His blue eyes and smile would light up any room. He lived his life the

way he wanted. Mark was a man who cast a long shadow in life and left an

emptiness to fill in the hearts of those who knew him. He will be dearly

missed.

Mark is survived by his wife of 18 years, Rosetta Everts; a son and

daughter in law, Tristen and Aubree Luna of Garden City, Kansas;

grandson, Riley Luna; his mother, Mary Montpas of Iowa; brother,
