Eddie was a tremendous encouragement to me when I attended Old Hickory Church of the Nazarene. He truly had the light of the Lord in his eyes, and I am thankful for the times we shared. May the comfort of the Lord rest with the family and friends of this great saint!

What a wonderful Christian man we have lost but we know he is in Heaven.
Eddie was so supportive of the Christian Community Outreach Center. I will miss seeing him bringing in food to the Center and then going out to the car and speaking to Mrs. Agee.
I will miss seeing his wonderful smile.
He was a true man of God.
We have been blessed by just knowing him.
