Everett Payson Fisk (“Red”) of Apple Valley, Minnesota formerly of Taunton passed away suddenly on July 25, 2015 at the age of 81. Everett was the devoted husband for 50 years of Margaret F. Fisk (McMurtery) of MN, formerly of Dedham, MA. He is survived by his loving children; Kevin Everett Fisk and his wife Diane of Taunton, Robin M. Fisk Brown and her husband Michael of Taunton, and Sharin Fisk Wieking and her husband Jeff of MN. Everett was the proud grandfather of Sharon Pereira (Kenny), Steve Ventura, Krystal Fisk, Kassy Fisk, Kyle Fisk, Kevin Fisk, Jr., Bailey Moulton, Michaela Brown, Alexis Brown, Jaime Brown, Garritt Everett Wieking, Tannir Wieking and Addisyn Wieking. He was also thrilled to be the great grandfather of Kolby Fisk, Kody Pereira, Kourtney Pereira, Kayley Ventura and his expected fifth great grandchild Aubrey Hope.
Mr. Fisk is reunited with his late son, Jeffrey Q. Fisk, his brothers the late Clyde Fisk and Maynard Fisk and his sister Edith Fisk McLain. Everett will forever be loved and looked up to as his family’s hero. Mr. Fisk was born on October 20, 1933 in Groveton, NH and was the son of the late Wendell J. and Pearl Fisk. He served his country with honor as a member of the United States Army.
Margaret, who was the love of his life and he married 50 years ago and raised their family, living in Taunton for 29 years as he worked as a truck driver and later as a bus driver in MN. Red joked and referred to himself as “Blue Twisted Steel”, however this was no joke as he was “tough as nails” and could battle through anything. He had a fun side to him though and that was enjoyed by all as was his talent for telling jokes.
When Mr. Fisk wasn’t hard at work he enjoyed his model trainsets, a hobby he took great pride in building and powering. Everett loved the outdoors, especially hunting with his friends. He enjoyed playing cards and particularly liked playing “Skippo”. Above all though, his greatest talent and loved pastime was being a loving husband, Dad, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend.
Cremation will take place at Woodlawn-North Purchase Crematory in Attleboro. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday August 2, 2015 from 2-4pm at Taunton Funeral Home 8 Crapo Street (off Tremont St./Route 140) Taunton, MA 02780.
