Everett J.

Bass IV

Everett J. Bass IV, 56, a native of Herkimer, NY passed away unexpectedly into the hands of our Lord on March 10, 2012 in Pensacola, FL. Everett was born in Little Falls, NY on September 1, 1955 to Everett J. Bass III and Ruth L. (Busch) Bass.

Everett was of the Christian faith and one of his joys was relaying Bible stories and reciting scripture. He shared a special bond with his mother, Ruth. They were true friends. The only bond closer to him was his bond with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He attended Herkimer schools and was a veteran of the U.S. Army enlisting in November, 1972 with an honorable discharge in November, 1974. Shortly after getting out of the military he worked at Remington Arms in Ilion, NY. Several years later he worked in management in the restaurant business. He also enjoyed working on the family dairy farm. Everett was very talented and creative as shown in his many beautiful drawings and pastel works. His penchant for eloquent writing was evident in the many cards, poems and letters written to family members over the years. He was a gifted freelance writer with his work being published in a national magazine. He had a passion for traveling to new places and gained many new friends along his journeys. His hobbies included practicing piano and singing old gospel hymns. He enjoyed life and was very much a free spirit.

Leaving to mourn are his mother, father and large family which include seven brothers, David P. (Karen) Bass of Herkimer, NY; Daniel M. (Coleen) Bass of Herkimer, NY; Arthur J. Bass of Little Falls, NY; William H. (Jan) Bass of Herkimer, NY; Duane P. (Shirley) Bass of North Augusta, SC; Bernard B. Bass of Herkimer, NY; Jason S. Bass of Dolgeville, NY; and four sisters, Julia L. (Daryl) Lyon of Dolgeville, NY; Valerie B. (Christopher) Gressler of Dolgeville, NY; Ruth L. J. Avery of Herkimer, NY and Carrie (Harvey) Collins of Utica, NY. He also leaves several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Julia L. (Miller) Busch and William H. Busch, and his paternal grandparents, Anna (Neth) Bass and Everett J. Bass, Sr. Our son, brother, uncle and friend was a kind, caring, giving man, and we are so deeply saddened by his passing. He will live on in our hearts and memories forever.
