Eddie Lee Bullard

Eddie Lee Bullard, 64, passed away January 25, 2020. He was determined to fight hard, over the past 21 years, to overcome multiple medical conditions. He was born in Jacksonville, Florida. He worked for Norfolk Southern Railroad, owned his own business, and then worked at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida for 10 years before retiring, due to illness. Above all, he loved Jesus and he loved his family. Over the years he loved to sing, play cork ball and softball, go fishing, go to the Blue Ridge mountains, and play a lot of golf.

He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Gladys Bullard, two children, Stacey Ross (her husband Shaun), Autumn Bullard (her boyfriend Travis), and one grandchild, Caitlynn Ross. His parents were Elzie and Mary Bullard. He has one sister, JoAnn (Jerry), and three brothers, James (Dixie), Freddie, and Travis (Pam).
