August 30, 2021 – Thank you to the folks at Banvil2000, who informed us of the passing of company CEO and founder, Everret Wills, on August 15.

“Everret started Banvil2000 in 1997 and devoted most of his time and energy into building the business into what it is today. He was a vibrant and charismatic man who always saw the best in people. Everret was not only able to make them laugh but also make friends everywhere he went. We are proud to say that many of our customers call him friend,” writes the company.

According to the obituary at McKersie-Kocher Funeral Home Co. Ltd.:

“He was born on May 16, 1946, in Vanguard, Sask. […] Everret is survived by his partner, Twila DeGroot; mother, Muriel Hilton; three daughters (Rachel, Annique & Crystal); five grandchildren; brother, Leslie Wills; sister, Marilyn Bahnman; and nieces and nephews.”

Donations to World Vision in memory of Everret are appreciated.

“We would like to acknowledge our appreciation for everyone’s patience through this time of loss and transition as we move forward in Banvil2000’s continued progression as a company,” added Banvil2000.
