Everett Spencer Molino was a vibrant 15-year-old boy who brought joy and
inspiration to all who knew him. He passed away on March 15, 2023, leaving
behind a family and community deeply grieving his loss. Everett was born on
November 9, 2007, and from the moment he entered the world, was a special gift
to his loving family and all those around him.
At the age of two, Everett was diagnosed with Autism, and though he was
nonverbal, he expressed joy in many ways. With love and assistance from his
devoted parents, Everett lived a full and active life. Everett’s father, Silas, was his
constant companion and utilized much of his own personal time to accompany
Everett to any place he went as he required constant supervision. They could be
found running in the turkey trot together, attending scouting activities, and
participating in church youth group events. His mother, Anne, loved him dearly
and was his tireless advocate. Since his autism diagnosis at two years old, she
worked closely with various special needs organizations and the Redlands Unified
School District to ensure he could reach his full potential. They shared a special
bond as she cared and nurtured him with patience and kindness. Everett was
blessed with three wonderful siblings Xander, Clara and Owen. Together with
their parents, Everett became the focus of their family. His safety and well-being
took precedence in their lives.
As a community, many people had the opportunity to serve Everett by teaching,
caring for and helping him grow and develop. He was often recognized out in the
community because of their service to Everett. Everett was able to learn to read
and actively participate in his classroom activities, although much of his language
was memorized dialogue from Disney movies. He was a high school student at
Redlands East Valley High School at the time of his passing and spent all of his
education within the Redlands Unified School District. The love many felt for this
remarkable boy and his special needs grew deep. The family wishes to thank all
those church leaders, educators and professionals who were involved in his care,
growth and development.
Everett taught us that love and laughter are more important than many things we
value in life. He showed us that sometimes, all you need is to watch a Disney
movie with your family and have a good meal to be happy. He reminded us that
wearing shoes is not always ideal and that there is beauty and wonder to be
found in the world all around us. As we mourn Everett’s passing, we remember
the light he brought into our lives and the countless ways he touched our hearts.
Everett is survived by his parents, Silas and Anne Molino as well as his siblings
Xander, Clara and Owen. He is also survived by his grandparents Lynn and
Melody Nelson and Alexander and Kimberly Molino. He also has many aunts,
uncles, cousins and community members who will miss him greatly.
