Earl was educated in the Newark school system and received his diploma from East Side High School. He was a long term employee with the Newark Sanitation Department. Earl's infectious smile and warm personality brightened countless days, touching hearts with his kind-hearted nature. He was an individual of remarkable resilience and adaptability, continuously seeking personal growth and challenging the status quo.

Earl was proceeded in death by his father Montel Banks. He leaves behind his mother Eunice Banks, Brothers Abdul and Terrell Banks and a host of family and friends. Let Earl's passion for life be an example to us all.
