He also leaves behind his daughter Robin Trousdale and her partner Melanie, as well as his stepfather Robert Howe, all of whom were blessed by his loving presence. Eddie’s pride and love for his children and grandchildren knew no bounds, and he cherished every moment spent with them.

In addition to his family, Eddie had a deep love for the outdoors. Whether it was four wheeling with friends, or gardening and landscaping, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature, he found peace and joy in spending time outside. At home, he was a hands-on person who took great pleasure in tackling any project, no matter how big or small. Whether it was repairing something, building something new, or taking on a challenging task, Eddie’s enthusiasm, pride and determination were always evident. His ability to approach any project with a positive attitude and dedication will be remembered fondly by those who worked alongside him.

Edward lived every day with a heart dedicated to others. Whether through small acts of kindness, lending a hand to those in need, or putting the well-being of others above his own, Eddie’s life was a testament to the power of service. His selflessness touched the lives of everyone he encountered, and his example of love, humility, and generosity will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Those who were fortunate enough to experience his warmth, patience, and wisdom will remember him for his quiet strength and his ability to always make others feel seen, valued, and loved. He set an incredible example for his family and community, showing us all what it means to live a life of service and to always put others first.
