DOVER - Everett "Rhett" "Sonny" Warrington, Jr. of St. Augustine, passed away peacefully at the Bailey Family Center for Caring surrounded by his family. Born in Dover, Delaware he had resided here since 2007, moving here from Rehoboth Beach, DE. He began his sales career at the age of 11 by earning a bicycle selling subscriptions for the Wilmington Sunday Star. He was a graduate of Dover High School and attended Ball State University where he took classes for pediatric podiatry. He served in the U.S. Army and later was transferred to the Delaware National Guard and he received a marksman badge, medal for aid to civil authority, and he specialized as a radio teletypewriter operator. He spent his working career as a sales executive within the children's shoe industry being the recipient of many performance awards.
