He served proudly in the US Army from 1976-1979. He then pursued his passion as an Avionics Technician after completing school at George T. Baker and obtaining his A&P license, in which later he retired.
Embracing retirement, he enjoyed spending time with his wife boating, fishing, going to the shooting range, and traveling.

He lived life to the fullest.
Eddie was a loving husband of 42 years to his wife, Kathy and a devoted father to his three daughters: Tanya, Ashley and Kelly. As a man of faith, he saw to it that his family attended church every Sunday and knew the gospel. With a heart for the Lord, he shared the gospel with whomever he met.
