Born in Landis, NC on June 3, 1931, to the late Theo and Mary Walker. Earney was a member of St. Paul Presbyterian Church 53 years and also served as an Elder. He retired as a Captain with the Greensboro Police Department after 30 years of service. Earney was a member of the Corinthian Masonic Lodge #542.

He enjoyed going to Auctions and Yard Sales, but his greatest passion was spending time with his adoring family. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, and grandfather who was loved by many and will be missed by all who knew him.
