June 20, 2019
Marietta, GA- Edward Stovall, Jr. 75, of Marietta, GA passed Thursday, June 20, 2019 in Marietta. Funeral services will be 1:00PM Sunday, July 7, 2019 at Hill-Watson-People's Funeral Service LLC Chapel, 1605 3rd Ave.,Columbus with Reverend Timothy Henderson, officiating. Interment will follow at Riverdale Cemetery. Visitation will be Sunday, July 7, 2019 from 11:30AM-12:30PM at the funeral home. Mr. Stovall was born and raised in Columbus GA, he was the eldest son of the late Edward Stovall, Sr. and Johnnie Greenlee Stovall. Edward graduated from WM H. Spencer High School in 1962 and received his Bachelor of Science in Biology Degree from Oakwood College in Huntsville, AL. Following graduation, Edward worked as a biologist in Portland, Oregon. He later moved to Detroit, MI where he found love and married. To this union, two wonderful sons were born. Eventually, Edward returned to Georgia, worked with his father in various business ventures, and provided companionship to his mother. He stayed with her until her death. Edward was devoted to his family and we believe this to be his greatest legacy. His desire was to share his blessings with his progeny and his parents. Edward's life will be remembered by his sons, Patrick Stovall (Chantile) and Vernon Stovall (Krystal); sisters, Rosalyn Meadows (Kenneth), Jackie Stovall and Janice Carson (Curtis); brothers, Stan Stovall (Malinda) and Steven Stovall; 8 grandchildren; 11 nieces and nephews, numerous cousins, and a host of other relatives and friends.

Ed and I were blessed by the gift of friendship. Today, I want to thank my "Big Brother" for encouraging me, as a youngster, to be myself.
Ed, you will always be part of my life.

As a Freshman at Spencer High, when Ed Stovall was a Junior, he was a quiet, smart presence. He was a member of the great class of 1962 with my Brother Jack Roosevelt Turner and the late Arthur McClung, Jr. They were the smart class I looked up to and tried to emulate.
Rest Ed and peace to the Stovall Family, especially my friend Jackie.

Dear Jackie and Stan,
I just heard of Ed's death. I'm very sorry.
Ed was one of my special Big Brothers during my childhood. The fact that he became a biologist is not surprising. He was first to awaken my scientific curiosity.
Your Brother was a great role model. His goodness inspired me to strengthen my heart by helping others.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. With deepest sympathy,
Love,
Sonny
