Born on June 20, 1947, in Newton, a son of the late Georgie Madden Comans and Luther Comans, Jr. He lived in Richland "Plain", his entire life. He was a graduate of Florence High School and attended Belhaven University. He served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, in which he volunteered, along with his dearly loved brother, the late Curtis Eugene Comans, to serve his country. He and his family owned and operated Capitol Pest Control until he retired. He took pride in being a hard worker and a great provider to his family. He was always there to help his parents, family and friends in any way needed. Eddie was indeed a "Jack of all Trades". He loved working in the yard and you could always count on him offering you a cup of coffee at any time of the day. He also loved watching football, particularly the Saints and Ole Miss, but enjoyed watching all games.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Linda "Granny' Carter Comans; parents, Georgie Madden Comans and Luther Comans, Jr.; and brother, Curtis Eugene Comans.
He is survived by his daughter, Angie Comans Crawford (Michael); sons, Luther "Luke" Ray Comans and Robert Danton Bell (Leigh); grandchildren, Morgan "Ray" Alexandra Bell, Hannah "Ray" Grace Comans (Zach), and Carter "Ray" Bennet Bell; and great-grandson, Addison "Ray" Luke Hawes. He always laughingly added his middle name "Ray" to his grandchildren's name and they lovingly called him "Eddie Ray". He was extremely happy to meet his great-grandson, born in March, the day before he passed.
He is also survived by sisters, Brenda "Gail" Langford, and Sandra Webb (Jack); brother, James L. Comans; sister-in-law, Teresa Comans; and several nieces and nephews.
Eddie was of Baptist Faith and strongly believed in our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. He was excited to be reunited with his wife, whom he lost in July 2019. He told us about the little cottage she had waiting on him and we know he is drinking coffee as they sit on the front porch in Paradise, no pain, no worries, only love...
Visitation will be 12:30pm-1:30pm, Monday, April 13, 2020, at Baldwin-Lee Funeral Home in Pearl. Graveside services will follow at 2:00pm in Glenwood Memorial Park, Richland.
