Eddie graduated from West Mecklenburg High School in 1967 and went on to attend Wingate College. He was an honorary member of the Gamma Zeta Chapter of the Phi Chi Fraternity at UNC Wilmington and the Psi Delta Chapter of the Phi Chi Fraternity at UNC Charlotte.
Eddie had a passion for photography his whole life. He took photos for the Charlotte Observer for some time before pursuing work as a freelance photographer – which he was committed to until his passing. Notable photography assignments include taking photos for various businesses, weddings, and reunion events, and most recently taking aerial photos.
Eddie’s friends were his family and they loved him as deeply and widely as he loved them. He was a wonderful person who was always ready and willing to lend a hand to those in need. Aside from photography, Eddie was very interested in history, and specifically ancestry.
Eddie is survived by his sister, Margaret “Ann” Greene; as well as cousins and great friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and a handful of close friends.
A graveside service will be held at 2:30pm on Saturday, June 12, 2021 at Forest Lawn West Cemetery, 4601 Freedom Drive, Charlotte, NC. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Eddie’s name to the charity of your choice.
