December 25, 1939 – January 20, 2025

EEUWIT “EVERETT” TANIS woke up in the presence of his Lord and Savior on January 20, 2025 at the age of 85 years.

Everett was born on December 25, 1939 in Holland to George and Elizabeth (née Verhage) Tanis.

Dad was the loving father of George (Jessica), Bert, Liz, and Gwen (Nicholas) with blended family Douglas (Karry), Marilyn, Rachel, Jodee (Alan) and grandchildren.
He is survived by his siblings Aad (Eeuwit), Kees (Nellie), Gerard (Corrie), Krijn (Clarie) and numerous nieces and nephews.

He is predeceased by his Parents, infant son Bert (1982), his wife Maasje (1996), his sister Durvina (2009) and wife Annetje (2020).

Everett volunteered many hours for various organizations and associations, living out his passion for helping others. He cared, for his family, the community, and the country as a whole.

His passions included farming, hiking, gardening, camping and traveling. He loved birds, wild flowers and puzzles. His faith was reflected through every aspect of his life.

We would like to thank the Nurses and Staff on 4B of the Chinook Regional Hospital for the outstanding dedication and support they gave our Father during his brief stay.
