Donald Jerry Earls

Donald Jerry Earls was born in Dahlonega, Georgia on February 8, 1948 to Reno and Jessie Mae Earls. He was the youngest of eleven children. Donald was always good natured and a sheer joy to be around. His greatest passions were Jesus and his family. Donald loved people and he had the kindest of hearts. He moved to Gainesville, Georgia in the 1960’s and remained there residing with his mother until 1999. He then lived in the Atlanta metro area for the remainder of his days.

The words “Beautiful Soul” totally exemplify who he was.  He was generally a quiet man, but if you listened to him talk, seeds of his mother's Godly wisdom were in full bloom in his conversation. He loved Jesus and wanted to live a life pleasing to him. As his mother aged, he became her legs, arms and hands. In spite of her poor health, she never had to leave her home because he was her constant companion and helper. On February 12, 2018, this “Beautiful Soul” was reunited with his loving mother and father. There was great reunion in heaven that morning. He exchanged his corruptible body for a gloried body that day. Now HE IS FACE TO FACE WITH JESUS!!! He is preceded in death by his parents: Reno and Jessie Mae Earls, his siblings: Lee Earls, Evelyn Earls Browner, Robert Earls, Reverend Joseph Earls, Ernest Earls, Reverend Frank Earls, Johnnie Lewis Earls, and Reverend Anna Elene Earls Reid. He is survived by two siblings: Floyd Earls and Ella Earls Robertson, a special niece: Joyce (Sammie) Stargill, sister-in-laws: Zeldia Earls and Sylvia Earls and a host of nephews, nieces and other relatives.
