Everett James Bookwalter was born silently into the world but left an everlasting imprint on our hearts. Though we never had the chance to see him grow, his life was filled with love from the very moment he existed.
Though his time with us was brief, Everett’s presence profoundly shaped us, reminding us of the depth of a parent’s love and the beauty of home. He was, and will always be, our son- a cherished part of our family who will be loved and remembered every day. Everett is survived by his loving parents, Amanda Gossett and Richard Bookwalter; his big brother, Asher Bookwalter; and family who eagerly awaited his arrival with open arms and endless love. He may not have taken his first breath, but he will always be a part of us, woven into our hearts and lives forever.
In honor of Everett, we encourage those who knew of him to embrace life’s moments, cherish loved ones, and hold space for grief as a part of love.
Everett James- you were wanted, loved, and adored beyond measure. Though we didn’t get to carry you home, we will carry you in our hearts for all of our days. Rest peacefully, our sweet peanut boy.
