Angie and Bruce are our dear friends and we are so heartbroken you have been taken so soon. Our deepest condolences to the family and everyone affected. You were very loved and will never be forgotten. May your soul rest in peace.

We all loved Earl because he was Earl! He made us laugh and he enjoyed life to the fulliest.   We will miss you and yet I can!t wait to see you one day. Love Deacon Bill and Nelly

I had worked with Earl at Labelmaster; he was one of the point people in the warehouse for me for one of my VIP clients. He was funny, consciencious and always a professional. 
May God hold him in the palm of His hand.

To the entire Lory family, my sincerest condolences.

I met Earl during my time at Labelmaster. He was my supervisor. During our time there we found out we shared a lot of common music interests and hobbies and we shortly became good friends as a result.
Earl had this zen-like calm, a sharp focus, and a hard working spirit. At the same time, he had this sense of humor that could break even the tensest situations and make everyone's day better. He got a great joy out of making people laugh. Earl was a man who loved his family. He always spoke about his family a lot and with the biggest smile. He was always dedicated to doing his best to make them proud as they were his purpose in life.
I remember being a very self-doubting and anxious person and Earl had this way of inspiring faith in myself. I'm sure he had that same effect on everyone in his life. Earl was without a doubt one of the best friends I've met, or will have met. I'll miss him. But he won't be forgotten.

Earl was my brother.  He was a kind , smart and caring man. He was dedicated to practicing martial arts.  He was an amazing father to three children. My children (Abigail,
Andrea, Alayna) will miss his laughter and lifting them up in the air the most.  It will be a long difficult journey without you Earl. I’m praying you’re watching over all of us and mom especially. 

Loving you forever,
Christopher Lory

It’s heartbreaking to know that a beloved person such as Earl has left us behind.  

Earl talked very much to me about his father. This is something that Earl and I had in common, we love our family. This created a bond between us. He mentioned that one day he will reunite with his father. I believe and know in my heart, that he has. 


My condolences to his wife, kids, his mother and to his entire family. He will be missed and know he is in our hearts and prayers.


May the lord Jesus Christ have him in his glory. May he rest in peace.

My sweet Earl, I had the privilege of watching you grow from the very beginning.  As the youngest of the four cousins, playing hard to keep up with the older boys. You grew to be a gentle giant, with a huge heart. You spoke softly and cared deeply for all of those that surrounded you. You left us with wonderful memories that we will treasure always. I will always love and miss you. Rest in peace till we meet again.

A thousand words won't bring you back. 
Death has robbed us of our best but has not extinguished the light.  I hope you are at peace and in the presence of god. 
You will always be remembered, no matter what. Your presence, love, and kindness will forever be with us.
We will cherish all of our wonderful memories.  The way you would tease me when we first met, those magic cards tricks, our exercise sessions and your favorite holiday, Halloween.  You have gone too soon. I'll pray everyday that your soul finds peace. You will always live in our hearts!  RIP brother!

So very sorry for the loss of Earl. Prayers for the whole family and those who knew him. God rest his soul.  God bless.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as you mourn the loss of your dear family member.

Our hearts go out to your family as you and family grieves the loss of someone so special to you all.  

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow. Hugs 🥰

I've know Earl since he was born. I didn't have children at that time, and the Lory's were like family, and always included me whether it was taking a trip with them to Florida, or hiking through the muddy grounds in December to cut down their annual Christmas Tree.  When Earl was small I remember him being afraid of his shadow outside, but wow how things changed as he matured and grew.  He loved card tricks and magic, and I remember my daughter wanting a magic set so that she could do tricks just like Earl.  When my son was in college, Earl shared his love of Taekwondo. Who knew then that Earl's influence would set the path for my son's healthy lifestyle, and love of working out.
As an adult you always knew with Earl that it wasn't about material possessions, but rather what he valued most were the people in his life.  His family was his core, and the love that he had for them and especially his children brought the biggest smile to his face.
When I'd see him the first thing that he'd always ask is how are Jacob and Ally (my kids). It was only after that question that we would talk about other life topics.
It's still hard to fathom that you are gone, but know that what you've meant and shared over the last 34 years with those around you, will remain in our hearts forever.

The most amazing loving, caring, passionate, hardworking human being I was blessed to be married to. I Can’t thank him enough for all the support, guidance, encouragement and unconditional love he had for us and gave us. He was my world and my biggest motivation He will be missed dearly, but his memories will live forever and always

I would like to talk last time I was with Earl, which occurred on June 17th. I live in Washington and I always make a point to visit my family and friends whenever I return to my home. Earl has always been considered a part of my extended family, along with the Lorys. Unfortunately, there were a couple of occasions when I was unable to connect with Earl and have the opportunity to meet his wife and some of his children. Therefore, during my most recent trip, I was determined to ensure that I could spend time with !With I and Chris, we began the day by having breakfast together. It had been far too long since I last saw Earl and had the chance to meet his wife and children. The day turned out to be truly remarkable. I had the privilege of meeting Earl's wife, as well as his two daughters and son. The children excitedly shared their new Pokémon toys and an array of other toys that they had. We went upstairs and had a real heartfelt conversations and caught up on each other's lives.During our talk, Earl spoke with great enthusiasm about his excitement for the arrival of a new baby and his newfound talent in jewelry making. It was amazing how deeply he loved his children. Then I shared stories about my life in Seattle, and that reminded me of our connection and bond just as kids. At one point, our gathering was graced by the presence of Angie, who joined us in a toast with a small whiskey of my choice! The experience of spending time with Earl was truly a blessing, and I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to witness his growth as a father, husband, and compassionate individual.The memories I have of Earl will forever remain etched in my heart. I will always remember him as a dear friend, a younger brother who blossomed into an exceptional man. His unwavering care and love for his family have left an indelible mark on my own life. Earl will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I will continue to cherish the time we shared.I will always love you Earl!
