It is with sadness that we learned of the passing last week of former Osoyoos Times editor Paul Andrew Everest.
Everest served here as the editor from late 2007 until 2011.
Originally from London, Ont., he was just 36 years old when he died on June 28.
Sometime after he left the Osoyoos Times, Everest went to the Albertan in Olds, Alta., where he was the editor from February 2013 to July 2014. Since then he has served as manager of O-NET, a local fibre-optic television and internet service.
His former colleagues at the Olds Albertan filled their editorial page with tributes to Everest, praising him for his professionalism, integrity, thoughfulness and composure.
“Paul’s passion was news and he was talented,” wrote Murray Elliott of Mountain View Publishing. “He’d work day, night and weekend to deliver it.”
