I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Eddie. My son went to school at South Spencer and he and Eddie competed against each other in sports. They seemed to always end up hanging around each other at track events. He was such a sweet young man and always laughing. I am sure he will be missed by many.

I taught Eddie how to scuba dive and fondly remember his laughter and fun we had getting equipment to fit and watching him in the water. His smile and laugh will be missed by all.

Eddie was a wonderful young man I remember him as the fourth grader who was always pulling pranks. The guy that always made you smile. I remember his time with the team at Perry Central.
You never knew what he would do next.
He made the world a brighter happier place by being here. I am proud to have know him. I and the world will miss
