Mr. Early L. Murry

July 4, 1930 - February 18, 2018

Mr. Early Lee Murry departed this earthly journey on February 18, 2018. He was born July 4, 1930 to Tolly and Ellen Murry. He worked in the Construction Industry for many years until his retirement. Early was baptized November 7, 1976 and was a long time member of the Historic Greater Friendship Baptist Church of Cleveland, Ohio. As a faithful member he served on several committees and enjoyed frequent bowling outings with Reverend Larry Howard and Brother Rush. Early remained a very active member until he relocated to Kalamazoo, Michigan in 2015 and became a member of the Galilee Baptist Church under Christian Experience. He enjoyed attending church, bowling, watching sports and spending time with family. He was a loving, kind and gentle person, loved by all who knew him. He will surely be missed. Early is preceded in death by his wife Elizabeth, bonus sons Hosea and Larry Johnson; his brother Oscar Lee Murry, sister Bertha Lue Murry and their parents. Early leaves to cherish his memory daughter Kathy May (Daniel), bonus daughter Betty Mack, 7 grandchildren and a sister Lula B Murry; as well as a host of great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends. A special thank you to his devoted caregivers Lula Murry (sister); Ollie Felix (niece) and John Murry (nephew). Although Early has left this earthly life, may his immeasurable love of people and beautiful smile continue to shine through all who knew and loved him. As he would say…“All is well.”
