Earle Duperron

Just wanted to pass along that Earle passed away today.  I don’t have many details but over the last year I’ve been in contact with his niece, who let me know.
I don’t know if there’s gonna be any services or anything like that, but I have asked and will let everyone know.

Earle was such an important part of the NEJeep family.  I honestly wouldn’t have stuck with wheeling if I hadn’t met Earle early on.  The amount of stories that most of us can share could span hours.

Rest in peace, Earle’y bird.

Thanks for letting us know, Damon.  I've been wondering about Earle for a while, especially since Mark T. passed away.

That stinks, thanks for letting everyone know. Earle was a great guy, just like Mark was. Glad I got to know him when he was still around and active in the club in my early years. RIP.

RIP Earle. This was 13 years ago.

Earle was very supportive of me when I started as well. He was the first one to say that I'd be a good trail leader. He was wrong though

Brian Macway, Mark Tedesco and now Earle

It's his fault you guys have had to put up with me.    He dragged me and Bic over from naxja.  He was a good man

I remember when I met Earle.  It was at a NEJeep meet & greet back in 2024.  (may not have been NREJeep yet)  It was at the Devil’s Hopyard and it was the 1st time meeting everyone (I only knew them by screen names…).  So I walk up as a complete stranger to this group and Earle steps right up, introduces himself and welcomed me in.  Later on as I was driving home, I saw a red Cherokee on the side of the road.  Earle’s tire carrier broke off the tailgate and he was trying to lift it into the back of the Jeep.  Earle was small of stature and having difficulty.  I helped him get everything back together.  He always reminded me of that encounter even years later.  He gave so much to the club from the beginning.  He will be missed.

Sad news to hear.

I talked to him and mark for awhile at my very first meet and greet at the Hungry Tiger in Manchester way back in the day.
