Earnest Ray Temple
Earnest Ray Temple, 69, passed away quietly on May 31st, 2016 after complications while recovering from a heart surgery. Earnie was born February 25th, 1947 in Lyons, Kansas. He is survived by his two children, Casey Temple and Amy Nasuta.
He always called Texas his home. From infant to teen he grew up in Kansas, but his early adult life took him to a profession in hydraulic engineering in the Dallas area where he began his work and personal life as an adult. As a small business owner he had a long career of honest hard work and hustle. Earnie specialized in the field of hydraulics for 5 decades.
Instead of a burial or cremation service, it was Earnie’s wish to have his human body donated for scientific research which was fulfilled with the help of his daughter and Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas.
He is especially missed by his girlfriend Nita, his long-time friends Ben and Tim, his buddies at The Grill and his BEST canine pals Tabasco, Lady and Roscoe.
