Everett Hollis Latalian, age 78, of Orlando, Florida, passed away on Sunday, June 11, 2017. He was born May 16, 1939, in Bangor, Maine.

After moving to Orlando, Florida, Everett worked for many departments within Orange County until 1973 when he became an Orange County Fire Fighter. Everett was proud to be a fire fighter and was honored to help those who were in need. He also embraced his fire fighter family as he moved from Station to Station.
