Charles "Eddie" Edwin Cannatella, age 71, passed away on December 24, 2025 in Shreveport, Louisiana. He was born on March 12, 1954 in Shreveport, Louisiana to Joseph A. Cannatella and Mary Jo Cannatella.
Eddie was a proud Shreveport native and a graduate of Fair Park High School. He went on to attend Louisiana Tech University where he made many memories with friends.
Eddie was known for his kindness, sense of humor, and ability to make people smile. A natural jokester, he loved joking around and never missed a chance to lighten the mood. He had a deep love for dogs and famously created his own playful "language" to communicate with them. Eddie was a lifelong sports fan. He could often be found decked out head-to-toe in his favorite teams gear, proudly supporting LSU, Louisiana Tech, New Orleans Saints, and New York Yankees.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Joseph "Joey" Cannatella, Jr.
Left to cherish his memory is his children, Chris and wife Angela, Erica and husband James, and Jacob and wife Lana; former wife, Darlene Lasuzzo; grandchildren, Layla, Sophia, Jack, and Henry; siblings, Linda Crenshaw, Johnny Cannatella, Margaret Tucker, and Teresa Cassel.
Those who knew Eddie will remember him as a genuinely nice man with a big heart, quick wit, and a contagious smile. He had a gift for making others laugh and feel at ease, and that spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Memorial Service arrangements are to be determined and will be announced at a later date.
