Eddie was born October 21, 1961, in Philadelphia, Mississippi. He was a graduate of Pearl High School and received a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, and Master’s Degree from Belhaven University.
An accomplished musician, Eddie taught himself at a very young age to play drums, guitar and keyboard. By the age of 15 he was playing weekend gigs with two bands, and later played regularly in the church band.
As a teen Eddie went to work for Virgil Broome at his body shop in Pearl, and quickly picked up on the finer details of auto painting. As he honed his skills over the years, Eddie became a sought after craftsman, and worked for many years with Boler-Phillips Body Shop. Prior to his retirement in 2016, Eddie served as a supervisor for the auto paint department with Nissan for 12 years.
Survivors include his parents, Arvis and Patsy Moore; daughter, PFC Samantha Moore, US Army; sister, Vicky Moore; Samantha’s mother, Meredith Moore; nieces and nephews, David and Britney Ware, Caileigh Moore, Zoe Ware, Isaiah Ware and Alice Ware; and many extended family and friends.
