He was like the Energizer Bunny in that he kept going strong after each medical setback until his body finally gave up. As befitting a Christian man who lived a good life, he died peacefully in his sleep. Earl was born a few minutes after his twin brother on April 18, 1922 in Hawkins County, TN, where he grew up, to Calvin B. and Ella Mae Hurd Matlock. He attended Surgoinsville High School and served in the U.S. Army during World War 11.

He began working at Tennessee Eastman Company in 1943 and remained there until his retirement in 1982. Earl enjoyed farming and raising Black Angus cattle. He also gardened and worked hard at something all of his life. He was rarely idle. He was a big fan of the UT Lady Vols basketball and followed their games faithfully. Earl was a charter member of Higher Ground Baptist Church and enjoyed Southern Gospel music. He had a keen sense of humor and loved to eat anything sweet in spite of his diabetes. He will be remembered as a wonderful husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, and friend. He was the best!

McGahey was a member of our church at Webber's Chapel, on the Gate City circuit but for the last few years he was a regular attendant at our Broad Street church in Kingsport. He was a good man, whom the community honored for his sterling qualities of manhood. He was a faithful husband and father", a lover of his home. He loved the church, and regarded the vows and relations of church membership as very sacred.While discharging the duties of his position, he fell through an open elevator shaft and died almost instantly from the injuries sustained. He had no time for death-bed repentance, nor did he need it, for his preparation was made in his daily life. His funeral was conducted by the writer at Morrison's Chapel on Dec. 17, and he was laid to rest by brother Odd Follows. For this good man, death had no sting, the grave no victory. M. A.
