Grandchildren, Hayden Presson, Madison Kathy, Tyler Griffin, Reece Griffin, and Charlotte Dearing. Brother, Mike Dearing (Wanda), as well as his Tamola Hunting Club friends, and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Mr. Dearing is preceded in death by his parents, L.E. “Pitt” and Louise Dearing.

The family suggests memorials be made as donations to First Presbyterian Church of Meridian in lieu of flowers.
