Everett, E.C. as he was known by his family and friends, was born at Lex, WV on November 5, 1935, the first born of the four sons of the late James Everett and Oma Bell Addair Sparks, lifelong residents of the Bradshaw Coal Camp where E.C. was raised."Other than his parents, E.C. was preceded in death by his youngest brother Darrell Sparks, an infant sister Marlene Sparks, and a sister-in-law Debbie Sparks. Also preceding him in death were his best friends Hubert Fain and Rufus Hagerman, both of Jolo; his beloved mother and father-in-law James H. and Patsy Hagerman Riffe; two sisters-in-law Theodora Riffe Rife of Jolo and Sarah C. Riffe of Kentucky; two brothers-in-law Jim Riffe of Ohio, Ernest Rife of Virginia, and Teddy Proffit of Ohio; and a special nephew Ricky Shane Proffit in 1961.
"Surviving E.C, to remember him with joy and to mourn his passing, are his wife of 59 years Bonnie Riffe Sparks of the home; his pride and comfort Jamie Sparks of Jolo and companion Melissa Anne Hagerman, who he loved as a daughter; his adored and adoring daughter Tiffany Sparks Hanna of Sissonville and husband Tony Hanna; two brothers, Ernest Sparks of Princeton and Swanson Sparks of Jolo; four grandchildren, Ryan Sparks of Galax, VA, Kristin Brown of Princeton, Victoria Meadows of Mountain City, TN, and Brian Walker of Jolo; and four great-grandchildren, Abigail, Bently, and Chloe Pruitt, and Cheyenne Sparks; and several nieces and nephews.
