Memorial bench located downtown is dedicated to Merrill Everett

FALLBROOK – On Thursday, Jan. 4, a bench was dedicated in the memory of Merrill Everett, the late president of the Fallbrook Propane Gas Company. Everett died from a sudden and unexpected heart complication March 20, 2017. Everett was known for his generous heart in the community for "which he loved."

His avid love for the arts showed throughout the community – he created the "Galaxy of Glass" and founded the Fallbrook School of the Art; he was also one of the founding members of the Fallbrook Art and Cultural Center. He sponsored the annual "Art of the Avocado" competition, "Junior Art of the Avocado"; the "Remembering 9/11" art competition and the "Honoring our American Heroes" junior art competition. He is greatly missed in the community.

The memorial bench is located on the corner of Main Avenue and Alvarado Street – in front of the Fallbrook Art and Cultural Center.
