Euland Bliss Hoyle, Jr. passed away at the age of 72 on Sunday, May 2, 2021. Euland was a native of Chase City and returned to raise his family after serving in the army. He had a lifetime career as a mechanic and retired from Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative.

During his retired years, he enjoyed being on the go with his wife, visiting army buddies, and developed his interest in woodturning. His beautiful bowls, peppermills, mirrors, lamps, and many other custom wood designs demonstrated his phenomenal talent, artistry, and creativity. He loved living in the community, supporting Black Branch Baptist Church, working with the land and wildlife, and valued doing what was right.  He spent a lot of his time and enjoyed helping family, friends, and pretty much anyone who needed it. He had most recently enjoyed connecting with the newer generation of great-nephews and cousins. Euland is loved and will be greatly missed by many.
