Christopher Earls

Christopher Earls, a native son of Corbin, Kentucky, was born on September 1, 1982, and lived his life embodying the spirit of kindness and love. His heart was a kaleidoscope of warmth that radiated to everyone he encountered, and his soul was a melody of compassion that echoed in the hearts of those he knew. Christopher was a beacon of positivity and a lover of the outdoors, whose joy lay in the simple pleasures of life. As the author, Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” Christopher lived this sentiment every day of his life, touching the lives of many with his kindness and love.
Christopher was, above all, a loving father, grandfather, brother, and son. His children, Madison, Matala, Christopher, Kinberlyn, Kiersten, Kadence and Austin, were the center of his universe. His grandchild, Briar, brought him immeasurable joy. He was the cherished brother of Sally, Mitchell, Jonas, and John, and a beloved son to his mother, Betty. His life was enriched by his many nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
Christopher was preceded in death by his father, Jonas; his grandparents, Joe and Fonda; his nephew, Alexander; his aunt, Connie; his uncle, Wayne; and the mother of his children, Melissa.
