Christian Earls (10-18-11)

Christian Matthew Earls was born on July 18, 1990 to Jamie Millsap and the Rev. Calvin Earls, II. On Tuesday morning, October 18, 2011, Christian decided to take an early rest and suffer no more here on earth with us.
Christian was preceded in death by grandfathers, James E. Randolph and Col. Red Earls; grandmother, Dorothy Wilson; and great-grandparents, Roy Frank and Virgie Mae Miller and Otha and Callie Randolph, Sr.

Christian joined Mt. Zion Baptist Church at an early age and was a member on the junior. Christian attended Spout Springs Elementary, CW Davis Middle and Flowery Branch High School. He graduated from Lanier Career Academy and attended one year at Delaware State University, where he was Freshman Class President, Mr. Freshman and a red shirt on the football team, until his cancer came out of remission and at the request of the family came home to fight the cancer for a second time. Upon his return home he attended one semester at Georgia and then transferred to Georgia Perimeter College where he was enrolled until his death.
