Earl Brian Halls, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend passed away peacefully on December 27, 2024 at Groves Memorial Hospital, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was 76 years old. Born on October 29, 1948 in Fergus, Earl was a lifelong resident of the area, known for his deep love of family, passion for farming, and vibrant spirit. Earl was the beloved son of Reenie, who passed away in 2023, and William, who passed away in 2000. Predeceased by his mother-in-law Audrey in 2011, father-in-law Floyd in 1990, and his brother Sach in 2006. Despite these losses, Earl’s legacy continues through his loving family. He is survived by his devoted wife, Vicki (née Flewelling), with whom he shared a beautiful life filled with love and laughter. Together they raised three wonderful children: Brian (Shelley and her daughter Kennedy), Tonya, and Michelle (Mike). Earl took great joy in being a grandfather to his grandchildren: Taylor (Cody), Hayley, Nick and Dawson, and was proud to welcome his great-grandchild, Jax, into the world. Earl was a part of a large and loving family, leaving behind his siblings Muriel (Gilbert), Shirley (Wilf), Wayne (Connie), Ken (Jean), Bonnie, Larry (Donna) and Nancy. He also had a close-knit relationship with his in-laws: Grace (Dennis), Brenda (Wayne), Cheryl (Tony), Terry (Paulette), Rhonda (John), Rick (Cindy) and Perry (Kim). Earl’s life was enriched by the many nieces and nephews who adored him and whom he adored in return. A man of many interests, Earl was passionate about farming and loved to be on the land surrounded by the beauty of nature. His joy for life extended to four-wheeling, John Deere tractors, and cruising in his Monte Carlo. Earl had a special place in his heart for horses and enjoyed card games, often engaging in friendly competitions with family and friends. He could be found listening to Charley Pride or watching a Leafs game. Earl had a special bond with his chickens, Lucy, Snowball and Red, who were as much a part of his family as anyone else.
