Earl Hundley was educated through the Detroit Public School system and attended Wayne County Community College to further his education. Earl was a very outgoing guy he loved to work on cars he would help try to fix anything he knew he had the tools for. Earl would go an extra mile just to help feed the homeless make them sandwiches and drive around downtown Detroit passing them out, Earl always had a good heart. Earl loved to volunteer at the schools helping out with the youth he volunteered so much that the school gave him a job the kids loved. E, the schools loved how much Earl was involved they gave him a SPIRIT OF DETROIT AWARD given to him by Mayor Mike Duggan. Earl also loved to go camping and fishing. Earl loved celebrating life in so many ways. He always cracked jokes making someone laugh even on his last days of life he was making people laugh.

Everyone, please stand in remembrance in love the way Christ loves us the way Earl loved and the way everyone in the room loved him

The LORD is my shepherd: I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Tltou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. 

Psalm 23:1-3

You were one funny guy. The first time meeting you I was on the toilet and we didn't have a door up yet you just walked in and the first thing you said was "Oh I'm sorry baby" and started laughing  - our moments together will forever live within me. You have always been a good man to me no matter how much you got on my nerves no one will be able to replace that. I thank you for fighting for all of us just so we could get a little more time with you.....I want you to forever get your rest now no more pain Earl I'm ok with knowing I just gained another guardian angel.

 To The One and Only...

Dear brother, I write these words with a heavy heart, because of how much I will miss your physical presence...but in spirit and in truth, you will be with me always. There aren't enough words to describe, the impact of joy and love you have made ...in my life. Earl, you filled my days with so much laughter, and memorable moments from the cradle to the grave, and always kept it 200 with me. I loved being your sister it was an honor, and always an adventure!! " Your famous phase was "I did it my way" as you loved Frank Sinatra...Every time I see these movies, I think of you and smile... "4 Brothers" with Mark Walberg, Friday, "Friday After Next" with Mike Epps, and Cube, and "The Good Bad and the Ugly" (Westerns) with Clint Eastwood ...these were your Classic favorites!!! 

In Closing... you were so much more than brother, you were my friend, your love strengthened me brother, and you will always be that Golden Leaf ...from our family tree...

Forever and always, Celeste
