Jearl Houston Wyrosdick, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away on May 8, 2024, at the age of 86. He was born on August 9, 1937, in Elba, Alabama, and most recently resided in Pace.

Jearl dedicated many years of his life to his profession as a Scheduler/Planner at Monsanto Corporation, where he was responsible for equipment worth millions of dollars. He lived by several quotes and life mottos, including "Love the Lord with all your might" and "Life is hard, son. But it is really hard when you are stupid. Don't be stupid!" He believed in the importance of punctuality, always saying, "On time is 15 minutes early. Always be on time!" Additionally, he taught the value of hard work, advising to "Do your hard work first and the easy stuff when you are tired."

Jearl's defining personality traits were his unwavering love for God and his family. He impacted the lives of many through his dedication to his faith, leading a Sunday School class for nearly 70 years and serving as a Deacon at Wallace Baptist Church for 61 years. He was a pillar of strength and inspiration to all who knew him.

While Jearl had many accomplishments throughout his life, his proudest moments were the love and experiences he shared with his wife of 67 years, Sandra Elizabeth Wyrosdick. Together, they built a beautiful family, raising their children: Donna, Craig, Tim and Paul. Jearl was a loving and devoted grandfather to Parker, Taylor (Sarah), Hunter (Brooke), Ethan (Danielle), McKenna (Kyle), and Jared (Rebekah), as well as a doting great-grandfather of 6.

He was predeceased by his daughter, Donna Lynn; his son, Clifton Craig; and his wife, Sandra Elizabeth Wyrosdick.

Jearl is survived by his sons, Tim (Vanessa) and Paul (Rhonda); his brother, Randy Wyrosdick; sister, Polly McCall; daughter-in-law, Sandra; 6 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren; and a host of other family members and friends.

Jearl Houston Wyrosdick will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched, but his legacy of faith, love, and devotion will forever be cherished. May he rest in eternal peace.

His life will be celebrated Monday, May 13, 2024 at Wallace Baptist Church. Visitation will begin at 1:00 p.m. with the funeral to follow at 3:00 p.m. He will be laid to rest beside Sandra and Donna at Elizabeth Chapel Community Cemetery with military honors.
