Born on February 26, 1956, in Marshalltown, Iowa, Earll Anthony Hurlbut was the son of Clarence and Jean (Ward) Hurlbut. He grew up in the Garwin community, attended Garwin High School, and went on to build a career in HVAC. Earll’s love for music, fast cars, animals and his easy sense of humor were among the qualities people cherished most about him. He was a jack of all trades who enjoyed tackling home projects, and there was hardly anything he couldn’t repair. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Earll is survived by his lifetime companion and friend, Connie Hurlbut; his brothers Richard (Iowa), John and his wife Joan (Alaska), and Brian (Texas); several nieces and nephews; and his boxer, “Howndy.”

He is preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Jean, and his brother, Norris Hurlbut.
