Mr. Freddie Russell Earnest

April 6, 1958 - September 5, 2020

Freddie Russell Earnest 62, of Caruthersville, Missouri passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on September 5, 2020. Born April 6, 1958 in a Dell, Arkansas cotton field to WC and Helen Earnest, he began to entertain at the young age of six. Freddie was one of a kind – a big-hearted man who loved to sing and play the guitar. He was incredibly talented and played venues all over Northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri. He was married to his best friend Nitalynn (Murphy) Earnest for over 30 years. Freddie was bigger than life, smart, bold, opinionated, controversial, outgoing, wild, and full of laughter. He never met a stranger and never forgot a face. Right up until the end he was still planning on buying that Harley even if it never left the driveway. Passionate, loving, proud, and forthright, Freddie was a husband, daddy, poppy, and a friend to many. Our hearts are breaking today as we realize the depth of our loss. He was preceded in death by his parent’s WC and Helen (Smith) Earnest and his brother Phillip Dale Earnest. Freddie is survived by his soul mate and wife Nitalynn Earnest of Caruthersville, MO; two sons Rusty (Kenna) Earnest and Stephen Earnest both of Caraway, AR; one daughter Hannah Nikole (Jared) Sipes of Dyersburg, TN; eight grandchildren Madyson, Madyn, Zephyrin and Riley all of Dyersburg, TN and Maddox, Asher, Hunter and Kaitlyn all of Caraway, AR; along with a host of lifelong friends. Freddie’s final wishes have been honored. Expressions of sympathy may be sent directly to the family. Tri-City LLC Crematory Funeral Home is honored and privileged to serve the Earnest family.
