Edward "Eddie" Jamail

Eddie passed away May 17, 2016. He was proceeded in death by his loving grandparents. He is survived by his parents, Tommy and Glenda Jamail, his sister and brother-in law, Colleen and Clay Elkins, and his niece Maddie Elkins as well as many other family and friends. His presence will be missed by all.

In lieu of flowers we would like you to consider this. Eddie had a love for many things as well as a hate for one in particular. He lost many loved ones to cancer including his beloved grandparents and stated his hatred of cancer often. Give to cancer research. He had a lifelong passion for music. Find a music program in need and give. He had a love of sports but growing up it was baseball. His recent great pride was his niece Maddie and her playing softball and in, of all things, his position left field. Last Thursday she caught her first high and long hit ball to left field. She couldn't wait to tell Uncle Eddie. He was beside himself about this. The softball fields at Bear Creek where she played are still under water and will need help refurbishing when they can. The Parish school for children with speech and language delays is where Maddie has gone for the last 4 years and his pride in her achievements there were quite high. He talked about how wonderful the school is and how grateful for what they have done for her. They are a private non-profit school. Consider giving there. Lastly Eddie had a deep love for dogs and really animals in general. Consider giving to an animal rescue place. The real point here, is choose one of these dear to him or anything dear to your heart. This is what he would want. Giving in his name and memory just to help.
