Fato was a graduate of M.B. Smiley High School, class of 97 and he attended Texas Southern University, majoring in Psychology..... hmm, the plot thickens. Now we know how he comes up with so many clever business ideas. His determination to build a foundation for his children led him to start up his own company, Pounds for Pressure, a business venture he was very proud of.
Fato worked at Clean-Co Systems as a hydro blaster and was highly respected by his co-workers. He was the youngest of 10 siblings and is preceded in death by a sister, Bernadette (2015), his father Eddie Jr. (2017), and his grandparents.
He leaves to cherish his memories 2 children Zechariah and Paris Pounds, his mother Ethel Pearl Pounds, brothers Robert Fitzgerald (Ruby), Eddie Pounds III (Ramona), Bemis Dillingham and Ivan Odan, sister Kim Fitzgerald, Debbie Tate, Nikki Pounds, and Tawana Pounds, a godson Gerald Wade Godson, a special friend Creola "Nae" Spencer, along with his aunts, uncles, and a host of family and friends.
May God bless you all, know there is a time for all things. My time has come. ~Fato
