Jearl graduated from Snyder High School. He married Vernace Ruth Barker on February 24, 1953, in Dalhart, Texas. To this union, one son, Larry, was born. Jearl worked at Halliburton for over 40 years, retiring as a supervisor. When Larry was young, the family enjoyed going tent camping and fishing. Later, Jearl and Vernace were part of a group who enjoyed going to flea markets and RV camping. Their favorite places to visit were Canton, Texas and Branson, Missouri. Jearl was a devoted member at Highland Park Baptist Church. He was especially proud of being "Grandaddy" to his three grandchildren and later became a doting great grandpa to Mila Quinn and Dylan Kelly.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Vernace; and his sister, Evelyn Sue Stephens.

Jearl is survived by his son, Larry and wife Ann Bartlett of Duncan; grandchildren: Leah Bartlett of Dallas, Texas, Jearod Bartlett and Blake Bartlett, both of Duncan; great grandchildren: Dylan Kelly Goode and Mila Quinn Bartlett; brother, Ronnie and wife Roselle Bartlett of Snyder; and brothers-in-law, Wayne Barker and L.D. Barker.
