It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Shayleigh Brooke Persall-Everett, age 19, of Sanderson, Texas, on June 13, 2026.

Shayleigh was born on August 31, 2006, in Fort Stockton, Texas, to Stephanie Everett and Rodney Persall. Though her time with us was far too short, she brought joy, laughter, and love to everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Shayleigh was known for her big heart, beautiful smile, and tenacious spirit. She loved music, adventure, and finding beauty in the world around her. Strong-willed and fiercely independent, she was never afraid to speak her mind and always stood her ground. Full of opinions and quick wit, she loved a good argument and never hesitated to tell it like it was. Her humor, honesty, and bold personality brought life and laughter wherever she went.

Spontaneous and adventurous, Shayleigh was always ready for whatever came next. Whether it was a last-minute road trip or simply spending time with those she loved, she embraced life wholeheartedly. She proudly pursued her dream of serving in the military and attended boot camp. A knee injury interrupted that journey, but her determination never wavered.

Above all else, Shayleigh loved her family and friends. She shared a special bond with her cousins, who were more like lifelong friends.

She is survived by her parents, Stephanie Everett and Rodney Persall; siblings, Ryann Farris-Mirales and husband Michael, Nathaniel Everett, Bailee Everett and husband Michael Vargas, and Kinley Everett; grandparents, Dean Everett, Rosene and Mathel Green, and Gary Persall; and numerous other loved ones.

She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Raymond Everett; her aunt, Mitzi Persall; her uncles, Faren Persall and Bobby Dee Stockinger.

A Memorial service will be held Thursday, June 25, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Mason Funeral Home.

Forever loved, forever missed, forever remembered.
