Former state Senator Mike Everett, who
spent a decade in the upper chamber, has died after a battle with
cancer. He was 56.
Friends today are remembering Everett for his honesty, integrity
and his sense of humor. Everett, who was from Marked Tree, died
yesterday.
Everett lettered in football at Arkansas State University from
1966-69, playing defensive end and placekicker.
As a lawyer, Everett was known for fighting hard for clients.
State Senator Jerry Bookout said Everett used his time in the state
Senate to advance his sense of justice. Everett won an award from
the American Civil Liberties Union while in the Senate from
1991-2002.
A memorial service will be set later.
