Loved by so many, EB graduated from Davis Highschool and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Rice University. He successfully built a 23-year career with WH Lab while maintaining a love for his passion of music. Always social and the life of the party, EB was a natural DJ. Playing music and often singing along, his love for a melody went hand and hand with his involvement with Nu-Style Car Club. He went on to earn many awards and accolades in his younger years, including a feature in a car magazine, as well as giving back to the community with Nu-Style in his later years. Though serious at times EB was a true jokester. Making people smile and laugh was his true gift from God. Able to make light of any situation, you could always count on EB for a laugh through hard times and hardships. EB will be remembered as a Father, a Son, a Brother, and an Uncle. He will forever be playing a song in our hearts. As EB would say the beat goes on….
