Everett Thomas Cavan (aka, Rett) was born to this world at sunrise on April 27th, 2014; a little owl spirit in the form of a perfect baby boy. Despite his cancer, Everett exuded an infectious personality. People were awed looking into his intense blue eyes, which showed life in a new light. He chose his mom and dad to carry out his mission, to open a retreat center for families facing childhood cancer and child loss—somewhere far from hospital rooms and the traumatic reminders; somewhere beautiful and serene; somewhere with friends that understand. Just once around the sun for this baby’s old soul; that’s all he needed to make his imprint on the world. On February 22nd, 2015 at sunset, Rett left this earthly plane and his life continues to be memorialized through the Rett's Roost community.
