'''Thomas A. Early, Jr.''' (June 10, 1931 – October 30, 2018), was a [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] [[politician]] from his native [[New Orleans]], [[Louisiana]].
The youngest of eight children of Thomas A. Early, Sr., and the former Rose Parillo, he was married for forty-eight years to the former Betty Frank, who predeceased him. The couple has three children, Amy Early Korte (husband Rick), Sean Patrick Early (wife Janie), and Erin Early Belleau (husband Chris), and eight grandchildren. He was also survived by his sister, Jacqueline Early Garic (husband Bob)., and thirty-seven nieces and nephews. His six other siblings predeceased him.<ref name=obit>{{cite web|url=http://obits.nola.com/obituaries/nola/obituary.aspx?n=thomas-a-early-jr&pid=190626364|title=Thomas A. Early, Jr., obituary|publisher=''The New Orleans Times-Picayune''|accessdate=November 1, 2018}}</ref>
Early graduated in 1950 from the [[Roman Catholic]]-affiliated Jesuit High School in New Orleans and [[Georgetown University]] in [[Washington, D.C.]], four years later. He was a lieutenant in the [[United States Army]], based in Meintz, [[West Germany]], from 1954 to 1956. He thereafter obtained his legal degree in 1959 from Loyola Law School in New Orleans. From 1960 to 1968, under the administrations of [[Governor]]s [[Jimmie Davis]] and [[John J. McKeithen]], Early was the District 24 state representative for Bayou St. John, the French Quarter, and Treme'. Governor McKeithen appointed Early to the Division A judgeship of the New Orleans Civil District Court. He was then elected and served four terms in the civil judgeship. Early's political [[platform]] echoed support for "working people", public education, and integrity in government.<ref name=obit/>
Like several other Louisiana politicians, Early was engaged in thoroughbred horse racing. He died at the age of eighty-seven. His services will be held on November 5, 2018, with interment at Lake Lawn Cemetery.<ref name=obit/>
