His love extended to his five grandchildren—Alyssa Yowell, Dominic Yowell, Sebastian Yowell, River Yowell, and Damien Yowell—who brought him immense joy. Earl is also survived by his brother William Yowell of Hazelwood, Missouri.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Rosealee Yowell. Earl’s presence as a husband, father, uncle, cousin, and friend will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
