Kenneth Gerald Earley, born on March 2, 1953 to the late Gilbert and Shirley (Byng) Earley, passed away at the age of 72, on October 18, 2025. He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Lynn, with whom he shared a joyful marriage since December 8, 2012; his children, Jeremiah and Kristy Earley-Murray; his stepson, Jacob Falkenberg; and his treasured grandchildren, Evan, Augustine, and Lilah.
Kenneth was preceded in death by his parents, and his daughter, Tina.
Kenneth’s life was guided by a deep connection to nature and a gentle kindness toward all living things—even the smallest creatures. He took great delight in caring for his chickens, often singing “Amazing Grace” to them, and he had a special fondness for hounds. In his early years, Kenneth worked as a farmer, and later dedicated over thirty years to the sawmill industry. His gentle spirit, love for animals, and devotion to family will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
