Richard (Dick) Galen Everhart, 80, of Maugansville, MD passed away on Wednesday, October 5, 2022, at Doey’s House in Hagerstown, MD after a very hard-fought battle with cancer.
Dick was born in Hagerstown on March 31, 1942, and was the son of the late of Fred L. Everhart, Sr. and Pauline E. (Corderman) Everhart.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by sisters, Doris Wiles, Helen Myers and Betty Myers and brothers, Fred Everhart Jr. and Robert Everhart.
He is survived by his son, Christopher and companion, Dawn of Hagerstown; two beloved nieces, Julie Everhart and Robin Everhart, both of Frederick; grandsons Jason Everhart of Hagerstown and Matthew Everhart of Waynesboro, PA; great grandchildren Baylee, Daylynn and James; as well as numerous other nieces and nephews.
Dick graduated from North Hagerstown High School in 1960 and then proudly served in the in the US Army.
After retiring from Mack Trucks, he operated a construction business for several years.
Dick lived his life to the fullest and was always quick to make friends; nobody was a stranger. He particularly enjoyed politics and was involved in many local, state, and national campaigns over the years. He was proud to be a lifelong Republican and always willing to engage in political banter. He was a past commander of the Morris Frock American Legion Post #42 and supported many veteran activities.
Over the years he also enjoyed following the Baltimore Colts and later the Baltimore Ravens; coaching little league baseball; volunteering for Hospice of Washington County and spending time with family and friends.
During his final days, Dick was expertly and tenderly cared for by the wonderful staff at Doey’s House. He was so appreciative of all that was done for him, as was his family who will be forever grateful.
A gathering of friends and family for a Celebration of Life will be held at Antietam Brewery, 140 Western Maryland Parkway, Hagerstown, on Thursday, October 13 between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm.
Memorial donations in his name may be given to Doey’s House (Hospice of Washington County), 1710 Underpass Way, Suite 300, Hagerstown, MD 21701, to support the amazing work being done there.
