Edward "Eddie" P. Lineberger

Edward “Eddie” P. Lineberger, 59, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, April 4, 2015. Born on June 8, 1955 in Chesterfield, SC; he was the son of Mary Jean Boring Lineberger and the late Henry Vernon Lineberger, Jr. Eddie graduated from Cary High School where as an athlete he excelled in football, basketball and track. He went on to graduate from Catawba College.

With the exception of the ten years that Eddie and his father owned and operated Lineberger’s Seafood Restaurant in Apex, Eddie had a career as a retail sales representative in the consumer packaged goods industry working with Advantage Sales and Marketing. He enjoyed all outdoor activities, especially spending time with his friends on Lake Jordan. Eddie was “Uncle Ed” to his two nieces and two nephews. They all loved spending time with each other and particularly listening to Uncle Ed’s many stories and tales of “when I was . . . . “. He was a very loving uncle, brother and son. He spoke often of his many friends and how grateful he was for their companionship and support. He loved many and in turn was loved by many.

He is lovingly remembered by his mother, Mary Jean Lineberger; brother: Henry Vernon “Vern” Lineberger III and wife Nancy, of Charlotte; nieces and nephews: Ryan Elizabeth Love and husband Bryan Love, Todd Lineberger, Anna Lineberger, the late Zachary Lineberger, great niece Callie Lineberger; and other family and friends.
