William Dale Earley

March 23, 1951 - February 23, 2021

William Dale Earley William was truly one of the best people to ever walk this earth. He was genuine, loving, and funny. Reeling in fish with his push-button Zebco and his family by his side was his idea of a great day. He loved his family dearly, especially his loving wife of 51 years. Not only was his wife his world but so were his children, Terry and Shannon. The love that he felt for his grandchildren was with out measure, to say that he thought Taylor, Eric, Danielle, and Catie hung the moon was an understatement. He was the Husband, Dad, and Papaw that everyone dreamed of having. He lived his life to the fullest and made every minute count. He knew how to fix just about anything, and he thoroughly enjoyed the lost art of “piddling around”. He was happy to be a papaw to anyone who needed one. He loved life and thanked God for every day that he was blessed with. To know him was to love him. He was truly a legacy, and he will live on in the hearts of the many who loved him.
