Earl Ballentine Obituary
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Earl Ballentine. His gentle spirit, sharp mind, and loving heart touched the lives of all who knew him. He was a constant source of support, guidance, and love. He cherished all who knew him and found joy in the simple things. His intelligence, kindness, and generosity inspired us all. He cheered us on through life's triumphs and challenges, offering words of encouragement and wisdom. He is welcomed into heaven by his wife, Sue Ballentine, and his two sons, Gary and Bubba Ballentine.
We take comfort in the memories we shared with him and the lessons he taught us. His legacy lives on through the love and support he showed our family. Rest in peace, Papa, your love and legacy will never be forgotten.
