Earl was such a great guy.  He was so funny and loved a funny story.  I saw him the last time at my retirement in 2009.  He was a wonderful person and so good to work with.  My deepest sympathy is with his family he spoke of you often.

Earl was a really great guy and his knowledge of history and artifacts was extremely helpful to me in my research and first book, I couldn't have accomplished so much as an author and history instructor without his help and guidance. He will be sorely missed by many of us...

Earl and I are step brothers but we never mentioned that fact. We always said we were brothers. When my mother married Earl's father we were both about 9 years old. We fought like cats and dogs...shooting each other with BB guns and making homemade pipe guns. After our younger brother Chris was born we started blaming things we did on him. We even talked him into urinating on an electric fence! There was a bully in our neighborhood named John Roy and one day he hit me in the head with a rock and my head was bleeding. When Earl found out about it he took off running to John Roy's and started beating him up right in front of his mom. That made me so happy to hear John Roy screaming for his mama.  I loved my brother Earl.

We have fond memories of being next door neighbors.  Earl's passion for all civil war items led to interesting discussions.  Paul remembered Earl talking to him about being a mechanic.  That profession is serving Paul well.  Our sympathies for Myra and family. 

My husband and I have known Earl for nearly 20 years.  What I loved about Earl was his quick wit and his smile.  He was so knowledgeable on anything historical.  Earl was just a good southern gentleman.  We’ll miss you terribly, Earl.  God bless you.

I will never forget the time Myra and I were hiking on the Appalachian Trail.  Myra and Earl were meeting me early in there morning when I come hiking out of the woods and Earl says "bobcat". I screamed and ran to his truck. That was one of the first memories I have of Earl. He was such a big supporter of us hiking this trail together. I loved listening to him talk about civil war relics. He was an amazing man and will be missed.

May God comfort family and friends during this time. Rest easy Earl!

Earl was always a happy and pleasant person. We were blessed to have him for a brother in law. He loves his wife and family so very much. We will miss him but will always have good memories of him❤️

Myra and family, I send my condolences on Earl’s passing. We shared a passion for collecting Civil War relics and military dog tags. He will be greatly missed.

Myra and family, we send our deepest condolences to you at this extremely hurtful time. It came as a complete shock to hear about Earl.  I have fond memories of talking to Earl about our military service days and his extensive collection of military  memorabilia. He was also very proud of his lighter collection. He will be sorely missed in our neighborhood and in our lives.

We were very saddened to hear the news about Earl.  It had been quite awhile since we last saw him and Myra.  Usually we all coincided at Vera and Jose’s during many pleasant and memorable evenings together.  Our deepest sympathy to Myra and his wonderful family.  Thoughts and prayers for Earl and his loved ones.

My father was a great man I never met anyone who didn't like him it I'm sorry this happened so fast there was so much more I need to tell talk and share with you I'm in shock and sad anyway hopefully you and poper and uncle Hollis are reunited!!! Talking about us? I  Just Hope you are proud of me?

We are so very sorry to hear of Earl’s passing. His passion for history and Civil War was shared one day with my husband and sons. He was so passionate about his love of history he gave my boys four precious bullets he had found from Civil War era. They are treasured by them to this day and will always keep Earl’s kindness in their memory.  

Myra and Family, 
You have my deepest heartfelt sympathy in your great loss. 
 I will remember Earl as such a warm, friendly guy who shared some of my interests in genealogy,  relics, and the passion to learn more about our great country's history. He was such a warm, friendly, engaging guy - so easy to talk to. May God comfort you and His abiding presence strengthen you in the days ahead. 
Love, Jennifer

I was so saddened to hear about Earl. In addition to my time working with him at Lockheed, we spent many hours in the woods, back in the day, searching for Civil War relics. A young Marshall often accompanied us back in those long ago days.  Earl will be missed by many folks...

It was a pleasure to work with Earl at Lockheed. He was always friendly and upbeat.  My prayers for the family.

Dear Myra and Family,
You don't know me or my wife Debra but we are members of the GA Research and Recovery group that Earl was also a member of. We only knew Earl a few short years but feel like we were friends for a long long time. We enjoyed sharing our enthusiasm of the Civil War and relic hunting which made it a joy just being around Earl. I know your hearts are broken and that you will miss him for the rest of your lives. Earl will be missed but remembered by the many friends he made among the digging buddies. May God's peace and love surround and comfort you now and in the days ahead.
 A heart broken friend, Scott Fields

Earl Young was an excellent manager and my friend. He always  looked out for his people.  Every one that came into his life will miss him.  I know in my heart that I have great sorrow that he is gone. I pray for his family that he left behind,  God Bless.

I’m so sorry to hear this.   Prayers for peace & comfort

Earl was a wonderful friend and coworker.  He always managed to put a smile on my face or make me laugh!  My deepest sympathy to Myra and his family. 

Earl was our great friend across the street since 2009, and ALWAYS positive and wanting to help.  And help he did !  Conversation with Earl was always interesting and educational.  Lunches he and I had many ... and were rich in many ways.  Tourist friends from Europe enjoyed meeting Earl and learning his gun collection, with a flavor at the local shooting range.  So many memories of good and dear Earl ... that Vera and I will treasure in our hearts.  Our prayers for his resting in God's arms will be stronger than ever.

Earl was a great individual, co-worker, and friend.  He was a true leader and an inspiration to all those who worked with him.  He was admired by everyone that knew him.  The last couple of weeks I chatted with him on Facebook  a few times.  He will be sorely missed.

Earl was a dear friend,  and coworker.  We worked together many years. Worked with him on the flight line. Have lots of wonderful memories of Earl . Condolences to the family.  You will be in our prayers 

I had the pleasure and privilidlge to work with Earl for many years. He was both professional and personable. I cherish the great memories I have of our times together in the workplace. He made each day special. I personally can't remember a single time I was around around him that he wasn't smiling and upbeat. He was a positive influence on all of us.
 

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Earl and my condolence to Earl’s wife Myra and family.  Earl was a true friend and we shared a passion with the leadup, conduct, and aftermath of the Civil War and WWII.  Earl was a true Southern Gentleman and will be missed by all who knew him.  Rest in Peace.   

Earl, was always a good friend  and co-worker. He dedication to work and his "passion" for the Civil War is memorable.
