MICHAEL L. EARP

April 7, 1967-Dec. 17, 2009

Michael L. Earp, 42, passed away Thursday after a courageous battle with cancer with his parents by his side.

There will be a memorial service, followed by visitation today at 3 p.m. at Pinkney Baptist Church, N.C. 581, north of Nahunta.

Mike was the son of Ted Earp of Goldsboro and Janie Earp of Fremont.

He is survived by a sister, Michelle Earp of Goldsboro; a niece, Ashlynn Earp of Goldsboro; a host of aunts, uncles and cousins; and a special family friend and caretaker, Owen "Trapper" Pope.

Mike was a avid reader with his nose always in a book, an animal lover and a University of North Carolina and Miami Dolphins fan.

Before his illness, he was employed with Allco Electric.

At other times, the family will be at 209 Barlett Ave.
