A true craftsman, Eddie worked as a carpenter and created countless beautiful pieces with his hands. He had a gift for fixing just about anything, creative, hardworking, and endlessly resourceful, he approached every task with patience and pride. Eddie loved celebrating life. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, painting, woodworking, singing, playing guitar and spending time in the great outdoors. He was a God fearing man who found joy in simple moments and shared that joy with everyone around him.
Above all, Eddie loved his family. He was a devoted husband, a proud father, and a loyal friend. He was a true mama’s boy, carrying his mother’s love with him throughout his life.
