Everett Heath

Everett Harold “Fuzzy” Heath came into this world March 22, 1949, and peacefully passed March 1, 2025, surrounded by Family in Newalla, Oklahoma, in the home where many of his brothers and sisters were born.

Fuzzy attended McLoud High School in McLoud Oklahoma and later obtained his GED while in the Military as an Army Private during Vietnam. He married the true love of his life Juanita Carol Anderson on August 6, 1971, after dating only two weeks and were married 53 1/2 years, together they raised three children Shyla, Everett and Deliliah.

Fuzzy was a man of many talents, a Grand Night Champion Coon Hunter, Carpenter, and Golfer. Fuzzy loved all sports, especially his Oklahoma Sooners and his Dallas Cowboys, who he has loved through good seasons and not so good seasons. Professional sports were part of his life but the sports his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were involved in were his greatest passion. His Family was his greatest treasure, he bragged on them to anyone who would listen and to many who weren’t. Going to Stella Store with his brothers to drink coffee was the highlight of his day, Lloyd was not only a brother but his “best friend”. Many stories of Fuzzy involve the words, “he saved me” when in actuality helping others saved Fuzzy, being there for family and friends gave him such joy and value.

Fuzzy suffered much loss, he was preceded in death by his father and mother, William Jepothy and Idella Fay Heath; brothers, Orval, Willie, Wayne, Vernon, Allan, and Albert; sisters, Vera, Viva, Myrtle, Mary and Wanda; and Grandson Corbin C Brittain.
