Eddie was an Evangelist at heart, a special person. He touched so many lives of friends, strangers, family, as well as anyone he met. He was a man of God. A true warrior of Jesus Christ. He loved the Lord and spreading His word. He prayed with many and was a giving person. He was selfless and would seize any opportunity to give. If he knew of a need and had the means to fulfill it, he would. He loved helping people and bringing them closer to our Lord Jesus.

He was a family man. He love all his family so much. He guided us and advise us and was always there with an ear to listen. Eddie was an intelligent, positive, funny, with a big heart, wonderful personality person with a love for life. He was a very happy soul to be around. His smile lightened up the room and he spread his light everywhere he went. He was a motivator. Even the most challenging situations were made positive. He deeply loved traveling, dancing, music, the beauty of the world, the bible and his family all so much. He especially loved playing the bongos any chance he got with his family and friends alike. He will be greatly missed and will remain in our hearts forever.
