Thomas Richard “Tom” Everett, 81, of Moon Township, passed away peacefully on April 25th, 2026. He was born in Swissvale on September 22nd, 1944, a son of the late Thomas James and Rita Dolores (Voegtle) Everett. He is survived by his beloved wife, Diane (DiPietro) Everett, his sister, Betty, his brother, Jerry, 16 nieces and nephews, his three daughters and their families, Beth (Rob), Adrienne (Matthew), and Meghan (Sean), including his ten cherished grandchildren: Jonathan, Sarah, and Jacob Miller, Julia, Bridget, and Thomas McDonnell and Elliot, Adrienne, Carissa, and Peter McMillan.

Thomas’ father had been drafted during World War II and was taken prisoner of war in Germany just after Thomas’ birth. He was 8 months old when his father came home. He grew up alongside his four sisters: Patricia Pcolar, Barbara Wisniewski, Betty Roseborough, and Jaquie Topinka, and his younger brother, Jerry, whom he proudly helped name. After meeting the love of his life, he served in the U.S. Army in Germany for 18 months as a ballistics meteorologist. Following his honorable discharge, the two were married and went on to build a life together, raising their three daughters: Beth (Rob Miller), Adrienne (Matthew McMillan), and Meghan (Sean McDonnell) in Moon Township. He enjoyed a long and accomplished career as a construction project manager, working for Dick Corporation and the Hunt Corporation. He contributed to numerous major construction projects, including a nuclear power plant in Shippingport, the State Capitol East Wing and fountain in Harrisburg, the formerly known Heinz Field, the Giant Center in Harrisburg (home of the Hershey Bears), the formerly known Cleveland Browns Stadium, and Pittsburgh International Airport Midfield Terminal Project, among others. He was proud to watch people enjoying the places he helped build. He was a true do-it yourselfer who took great pride in home improvement projects, installing bathrooms, flooring, woodwork, custom shelving, etc in their home. He generously helped his daughters with countless projects from installing appliances to renovating kitchens. He was known for being the life of the party and a wonderful dancer, a reputation well-earned at his daughters’ weddings. He enthralled the crowd with his singing of “It’s Something That We Do” at his daughter’s wedding. In his free time, he loved golfing, taking his Corvette out for a drive, playing cards, listening to opera music, and, most of all, spending time with his grandchildren. A highlight for him was the time he spent with his family. They traversed the Pennsylvania turnpike many times to attend piano recitals, sporting events, performances,and other special events for grandchildren on the east end of the state. For more than 20 years, he spoiled his family with a week together at Myrtle Beach and celebrated his 50th anniversary with Diane by taking everyone to Walt Disney World. He and Diane also enjoyed vacationing together, whether it was touring America, Europe, South America, or visiting their timeshare on Marco Island.
