Alvin Everett Henley, age 75, also known by his friends and family as "Bulldog", passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at Haven Hospice in Palatka, Florida.

Born on September 6, 1950, Everett was the son of the late Calvin Sr. and Helen Henley. He was a husband, loving father and grandfather, caring brother, and faithful friend whose gentle spirit and kind heart touched the lives of many.

Everett found joy in life's simple pleasures. He loved spending time on the water fishing and could often be found searching for hidden "treasures" with one of his metal detectors. A devoted sports fan, he faithfully cheered on his beloved Florida Gators and the Jacksonville Jaguars, always looking forward to game day.

More than anything, Everett's faith was the foundation of his life. Having accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior, he found great comfort in reading his Bible and treasured the fellowship and encouragement he received during visits from Pastor Gene. His quiet faith and steadfast hope were an inspiration to those who knew and loved him.

Everett was preceded in death by his parents, Calvin Sr. and Helen Henley; his brothers, Charles Henley, Calvin Henley, and Steve Henley; and his nephew, Justin Hardenbrook.

He leaves behind to cherish his memory his beloved wife, Blanche Henley; his son, Christopher Henley; his stepchildren, Marc Rose and Jerry Roebuck; his cherished granddaughter, Chloe, and one great-grandson, Weston. He is also survived by his sisters, Sheila Bassett (Sam), Jeanne Peacock, Marolyn Bradley (Dale), and Carolyn Hardenbrook (Mark), along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will miss him greatly.

Although his family grieves his passing, they rejoice in the assurance that Everett is now in the presence of his Lord and Savior. His legacy of faith, love, quiet strength, and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

A graveside service to honor Everett's life will be held Thursday, August 6, 2026, at Crosby Lake Cemetery beginning at 11:00am with Bro. Gene Bass officiating. Archer-Milton Funeral Home is honored once again to serve the Henley family during their time of loss. 386-496-2008 www.archerfuenralhome.com
