He was the youngest son of Earnestine Turner Canty and the late Lessley J. Turner, Sr. Earnest was a self-taught, hardworking man. He was passionate about repairing cars, small engines, and many other household repairs. Earnest cared deeply for his loved ones and demonstrated his love through service. He became like an uncle to every kid he has ever met and helped countless neighbors in any way he could, without question. Regardless of his station in life, he would always return home to be with his mother. He enjoyed a good drink, hanging out with his friends, playing cards, listening to all kinds of music, and spending time with his family in Alabama, Cleveland, and Georgia. He loved deeply, loved hard, and lived by two core values: loyalty and respect. Earnest was preceded in death Father Lessley J.
