Emanuel Earl Temple

If you asked a hundred people who Emanuel Earl Temple was, they’d all would give you a different story. A secret agent, a superhero, the tallest man in the world, an elephant tamer, the world’s oldest baby, a garden hose sales man, a movie star, a lost prince from an alternate universe, the last unicorn tamer in the galaxy, a big man, and to cool for school. It’s no surprise that Emanuel was featured as the hero for most of his tales.

He was born in New Orleans, LA, on July 6th, 1953 to parents Elizabeth Scott Temple and Bobbie Ray Temple Sr.

Emanuel held many titles in his life, from being a military soldier, a supervisor and entrepreneur, bur his favorite role was being a father. He loved nothing more than spending time with his children, Niyokey and Emanuel Jr. He was always there for them, whether he was helping EJ with his homework, preparing Niyokey for a job interview, or just cheering them on in life. He loved his children

Emanuel was a beautiful person inside and out. His smile was so stunning it would light up the whole room. He cared so deeply for the people around him. He was so kind and passionate. He made an impact on many lives. He will be forever missed. Until we meet again. We love you, Emanuel Earl Temple.
