Everhard, Rev. Robert Louis (25 NOV 1927 - 23 JUN 2018)

The Reverend Robert Louis Everhard was born Nov. 25, 1927, and was called to his Lord and Savior on June 23, 2018, at the age of 90.

Robert was a WWII veteran, was drafted into the Army and proudly served his country. Robert graduated from Carrol College in 1954 and became an ordained minister after graduating from Dubuque, Iowa, Theological Seminary in 1957. His ministry spanned five decades, which included three full-time churches and six interim.

Robert married his wife, Lori Carle, in 1957, had three children, and celebrated 60 wonderful years of marriage. He enjoyed horseshoes, bowling, ping pong, flying model planes, but most of all the fellowship and interaction with people surrounding these activities. Robert was also an avid collector of interesting and unique artifacts and had many great stories behind them that brought them to life. The Rev. will be remembered for his infectious smile, hearty laugh and ability to relate to all age groups, spreading his love and inherent wisdom.

Bob is survived by his loving wife, Lori; and his children; Darlene (Stephen) La Fave, Dexter Everhart and Donald (Gloria) Everhard; grandchildren, Julie Rose La Fave (Lucas Sook), Michael La Fave, Penny Lou (Keith) Gattis, Robert Louis Everhard II, Carolyn Everhard (Logan Wright) and Dalton Everhard; and great-grandchildren, McKenzie Rose Gattis and Joseph DeLaney Gattis.
