DOUGLAS EVETT Obituary

EVETT--The Rev. Douglas Paul, died August 24 at home, Ann Arbor, MI., after a long illness. He was 74. Doug was the rector of St. Clare of Assisi Episcopal Church, Ann Arbor, from 1972 until 2001, where he was deeply loved by his congregation as a friend and for his preaching. He was a graduate of the University of the South (Sewanee) in 1960 with a B.A. degree and of the Episcopal Theological Seminary in Cambridge, MA in 1962 with a Masters of Divinity degree. In 1974 he was instrumental in establishing Genesis of Ann Arbor, Inc., a covenant with Temple Beth Emeth, Ann Arbor, that provided for their joint ownership of the worship and educational facilities, a relationship then unique in the history of the Episcopal Church that continues. Mr Evett is survived by a large family. A Service of Remembrance was held at St. Clare's on September 7. Those interested in making a memorial donation may do so to either the Douglas Evett Fund at St. Clare's or to the Civil War Trust, an organization which reflects one of Doug's many interests.

To all the family,

Know of the host of folks who now hold you in prayer out of their deep appreciation and affection for Doug, a loving husband, father and priest. There's no way for me to calculate the counsel and friendship he provided me in my ministry in Michigan. He's a dear friend taken much too soon!

God bless you, Stew

At our first TBE/STC pulpit exchange, Doug spoke of going "over the river and through the woods" to a better place for our two congregations. Doug has reached that better place. May his memory be for blessing.
