Eddie was a member of Church of Christ where he met and married the love of his life, Karen in 1981. Together they have shared many years of trips, memories and two beautiful children. Eddie enjoyed fishing, and if you caught him smiling, it was with a fish in his hands.

He enjoyed taking his family to Lake Brownwood, where they would fish till their heart's content and would have a big fish fry with everything they had caught. Eddie was a self-taught guitarist and even learned how to snow ski with Karen. Together they would take many red eye ski trips with Lillie, Rhonda and their church groups. Eddie will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
