He was a graduate of Bainbridge High School, Class of 1972, and served his country in the United States Marine Corps. Everett lived most of his life in southwest Georgia and was a member of Beacon Baptist Church in Albany. He worked as a material coordinator at the USMC Logistics Base in Albany, GA.

Matillo and his wife, Gail, of Tallahassee, Fla. and Malone Denise Harms and her husband, Charles, of Las Vegas, Nev.; his grandchildren, Marissa and Scarlett; and his nephews, Chadwick Harms and Matthew J.
