Although I didn't know Ed very long. You would have thought we knew each other our whole lives.  From the beginning. Ed and I hit it off. We could talk and enjoy each other's company. And sometimes talk smack to each other. Ed was a kind soul. He didn't ask for anything but was always grateful if you did something for him. He was generous and giving. He was funny but he never got loud. I will always remember and keep him in my heart. Ed was true.

ED!!!! 6'9"😊
You said that marrying Mary , that you had what you've always needed .
You Deserved Happiness.
You said to me many times that you were going to come dancing with me and my crew.
Now YOU CAN 2-STEPP . NO LESSONS NEEDED .
I  WILL TRY NOT TO DRAG MY FEET WHEN I HAVE ON FLIP FLOPS😂 I HEAR YA'', "" PICK 'EM UP"♥️

Hello to all! Turner Family, Friends and Home Depot Family! 

I want to send my sincere condolences and prayers to the entire family. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time with Mr. Ed, as the Store Manager at Home Depot. 

I remember the first day meeting Mr. Ed, when I transferred to 566 Home Depot Store.  I introduced myself and shared my expectations as the New Store Manager and for a veteran of 22 years with Home Depot, he embraced the words I shared. Which is not normal reaction coming from someone that’s been with Home Depot longer. I gained so much respect for Mr. Ed. 

Mr. Ed was working overnight and the workload is very intense. I asked Mr. Ed, “How do you maintain the energy to work overnight and execute your workload at a high level”?. He simply replied, “I was raised to give it my all in anything I do and I don’t know any other way”!  I said, “Man keep it up and you give me a reason not to ever complain”! 

I always told Mr. Ed, I wish I look as good as him when I’m in my 60s! 

I will continue to Pray for everyone, as we face the healing process. 

Never question Gods plan and continue to allow God to guide us as he guided Mr. Ed! 

Thank you God, for allowing Mr. Ed to share his time with us on earth. We are thankful for your grace and mercy! 

On behalf of our Home Depot family we again extend our sincere condolences to the family.  We will continue to keep you all lifted in prayer. 

A precious one from us is gone a brother we loved is still, a place is vacant in our hearts which can never be filled. His body was tired, he stood the test the Lord has taken his home to rest, his work here on earth was done.  We shall walk with him again.  someday beyond the sun, but in our hearts, he'll never die.  You are with Mom  & Dad, Willie C, Jimmy and all our departed Love Ones.  Until we meet again , sleep on brother. Love  your sister Lora & Kids.


                                                           If I Could - Ed James

If I could sing you a song it would be Smokey Robinson’s song “I'm Really Gonna Miss You” I would replace the words my buddy with my brother.

If I could dine with you again it would be at the last place that we had shared our last dinner.

If I could, I would share family and childhood memories with you just to watch you smile and laugh.

 If I could, I would love to hear you call me LW and laugh out loud as only you could.

 If I could, I would tell you that we love you.   If I could, I would send you tons of rainbows.  

Know that you will never be forgotten. You are one of the Turners’ kings.

Rest in peace knowing that your family loves you very much.
                                                                                    Your sister Low!


John 14:1–4
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."

We will miss you until we meet again.

Love,

The Gober and Moore Family

Revelation 21:4
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever."

You will be dearly missed until we meet again.

Love,

Veola Turner and Lewis Monroe Jr.

I met Ed at moms house. He was such a nice generous man. We went to eat and he picked up the tab for all of us, He gave the waitress cash and when she came back with his change, Ed told her to keep it, I don’t know how much he gave her but the waitress came back and asked him again if he was sure. He told her yes, that she deserved it. He really made her feel good.  That’s the kind of loving and caring person he was. We’re gonna miss him RIp Ed. 

You will forever be miss by your 2 beautiful daughters that you love and raise. You always raise us to be strong, well spoken and stand our own ground. We love you so much and it’s hard to see you go. Your 3 grandsons Terrence, Taurean, T’Marion will continue to know the history of you. And Your bonus granddaughter Kaleayah will forever love and cherish you, and I’m so happy that my mom and you continue to be best of friends and y’all raise us the women that we are. Love you and miss you so much your daddy’s little girl Lakyra JaNae Jones Turner Lester

Eddie James Turner 
He is a father of 5 children and a grandfather. He was born in Mississippi. He started his career at Home Depot 22 years ago. He lived in Chicago until 06/2000 when he transferred to store 0566 where he worked in Lumber as a pack down associate.  Never before have I seen an employee so dedicated, hard-working, and yet still tenacious at the same time. You were the inspiration to all of us! I met Eddie Turner at the Home Depot and started seeing each other. On 10/15/2015 we were married and started our life together. I believe made him very happy. He would call me his stress-
free wife. I had the privilege of meeting his 
daughter Lakyra when Ed's mom was I'll in 
Arkansas we were able to spend 9 days with Ed's 
mom I saw the love his mom had for Ed and the 
happiness they shared.  We spend some time with 
Ed's brother and his sisters. On 05/25/22 we drove 
to Clarksdale Ms for Ed's mom's funeral on 
05/28/22 while in Mississippi I had the pleasure of meeting Ed's family five brothers and five sisters. The family was very happy and surprised to see Ed there. It was a memorable week. Ed has worked under Kadel, there was nothing Kadel would ask of Ed he wouldn't do. As for what I saw Ed and Kadel have a good working relationship. Ed's passion was his work and his loyalty was remarkable. He was loved by many and admire by most. He would advise associates to stay in school and work with a company that had a pension, which was something he regretted. Ed in the 22 years he worked at the Home Depot was never written up or had any variances.  Eddie James Turner manages to go above and beyond for every project accomplished. Eddie James Turner, you will be missed. 


Mr.Ed I'm so use to you walking into room and I still look for u to walk into the break room. I still even find myself look down towards lumber.I feel ur spirit in the building except ur not where we can see u but I know ur not in lost & found. We all know ur in heaven watching over us @ the Homedepot. U will be and is truely miss. Rest easy Mr. Ed 🙏🏾💐🙏🏾. Condolences to Mary Turner & family.

This Video Is What Mr.Ed Will Do Every Night
And When I Had The Chance To Do It. I Would
Do It The Way Mr.Ed Would Do. He Gave Me
So Much Advice. He Shared Things Nobody
Else Would Share. He Shared His Experience
And His Ways Of Doing Things. I Learn A Lot
From Him And Im Glad I Was Able To Meet
Someone Like Him.

I Remember Mr.Ed Face That Day, He Saw The
Amount Of Work I Put Into It.
Mr.Ed Would Always Tell Me To Take Breaks
And Drink Water. He Would Offer Me Drinks
And Then We Would Just Joke Around. Even
The Days Where Work Was To Much For Me,
Mr.Ed Would Just Make Things Better With His
Laugh. His Personality Was The Best During
That Time.

This Is The Spot Were We Would Catch Up
With Each Other And Things That Had Happen
At Work Or In Our Lives. The Spot Were Lots
Things Were Shared. Most Of Time It Was
Mr.Ed Talking About How Much He Works Out
At Home And How Working Out Kept Him Full
Of Energy. He Would Tell Me His Stories About
Working In A Farm. One Time He Thanked Me
For Listening To Him And His Stories. He Told
Me That I Was A Good Kid.

Wow the sadness in this is beyond and my heart goes out... I worked w Eddie in homedepot what an amazing person so giving and would do anything he was asked. I spent whiles talking to him as he worked and I the ASM he was so such an amazing soul Heaven has gain an Angel
