Edd Hendee Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 19 to Feb. 21, 2010.
EDD KELLUM HENDEE went home to the Lord on Saturday, the 13th of February 2010. He was born on the 19th of February 1976 in Dallas, Texas and attended Second Baptist High School in Houston, the Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, and graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1999. Edd went on to earn a masters in English from George Mason University and then served five years in the United States Navy. As a lieutenant on the U.S.S. Denver in Operation Enduring Freedom, he led boarding teams onto foreign vessels in search of al Qaeda. Edd married the love of his life, Claudine Moore Hendee of Houston, Texas, on the 17th of February 2002, and together they had three beautiful children. He considered his family the best accomplishment of his life. After his naval service, Edd graduated from Harvard Business School in 2006, and went to work with Barry Sternlicht at Starwood Capital Group in Greenwich, where he quickly rose to vice president of acquisitions, leading the largest initial public offering at the time, the third-largest real estate investment trust raised in U.S. history, and the largest externally-managed blind pool fund ever completed on the New York Stock Exchange. Edd was extraordinary in every aspect of his life. He balanced a profound intellect with an engaging and kind heart that stemmed from his love for the Lord. He treasured his family and made common, everyday activities exceptional. Edd's tenacious spirit helped him overcome a Joe Theismann leg break, and he went on to complete a marathon and an Ironman Triathlon, despite this setback. He was a tremendous role model. He will always be remembered for his infectious laugh, mischievous smile and warm heart. Edd enriched the lives of countless family, friends, and coworkers around the globe who loved him and shared his love of life. Edd is survived by his beautiful bride Claudine Moore Hendee, son Campbell Luke, 4, son Hudson Jacob, 2, and daughter Reagan Reese, 8 months, mother Nina Johnson Hendee, father Edd Campbell Hendee, sisters Lisa Hendee Blackard and Kristin Ann Hendee, mother-in-law Norma Jean Moore, father-in-law Gary Lee Moore, sisters-in-law Gena Moore Rush and Gabriella Lee Moore, and brothers-in-law Chris Kirkland Blackard and David Rush. A celebration of Edd's life is to be conducted at six o'clock in the evening on Sunday, the 21st of February, at the Loading Dock, 1 Barry Place in Stamford, Connecticut. In lieu of customary remembrances, memorial contributions may be directed to the Claudine and Edd Hendee Children's Educational Fund, c/o Wells Fargo Bank, 901 Gessner Road, Houston, TX, 77024. 1 John 3:11 This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.

I was at work today and thought of Edd so I googled him. I was so saddened to read those words I read. I went to T Bar M Tennis Camp with Edd and we were great friends. God be with you, I am so sorry for your loss. Tara Virdell

Edd..... The chances of you seeing this memo are probably slim and none because it has been a long time since this was posted. Although we have shared some incredible times together and looking forward to our future with Combat Marine Outdoors, I have never read the story of your son. What an incredible young man he must have been and I am so sorry for this loss. God is with your son and God watches over his family and may God truly bless our efforts at Combat Marine Outdoors. You are ablessing for all of us at CMO and I can't help but believe that there is a reason that HE has brought us together so that we can help with the rehabilitation of our very young wounded heroes.
Thank you for being my friend.

Dear Edd and Nina,

I keep a little sticker on my lapdesk with your names on it. You are in my prayers as to the great, great loss of your precious son.

Edd, I've known you for 40 years and you've always been a rock. Words, however, can not climb the mountain of emotions and sadness I feel for you.
Now you, Nina and the rest of us--to a lesser degree--must lean into the eternal rock of ages for His peace.

Warmest Regards,

Kerr & Jill Taylor

Dear Edd and Nina,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Edd K. was a classmate of mine at Taylor High School (I believe before he went to SBC School) for one short year. We shared a Latin class, and I remember him answering Mr. Koenig with understanding and boldness! Since that time, as a native Katonian, I've visited your beautiful restaurant, and presently enjoy listening to KSEV in the mornings on my way to Memorial City to work as a nurse. When I heard the news last month, my heart broke for you and your family. Please know that you are lifted up in prayer by many who love you! May the Lord keep you close!

Claudine & Family, Edd was truly the shining star at Starwood Capital where we were colleagues for a time. Edd was truly one in a million and made a difference in a stressful and demaning world. If I only inspired to be half the person Edd was that would be considered a very good and positive life. Truly a great soul and honorable man; and I feel so fortunate to have known him. God bless you and yours.

Edd, Nina and family,
We just learned of your loss and our hearts go out to you. May our God give you comfort. Keep standing on His Promises.

Edd and Family,
I just returned from out of town and heard the devastating news about Edd K. Our family sends our heartfelt sympathy to you all. My husband and I are also bereaved parents (our son would be the same age as yours). But, we can attest that God is a healer and will bring you through this valley. It takes much longer than most people realize but you will emerge as a testimony to our Lord's grace and love. God bless you all; you will be in our constant prayers.

Edd and family,

Just heard the news here in Dallas, as Laura Ingraham gave a touching note on it all... my wife and I were big fans of the Hendees and the radio show when we lived in Houston, and your obvious joyous love for your family is one of the things we like best about you, Edd. Prayers going up from here for your peace and comfort.. we don't know you but we love you anyway and thank God for your influence on the people around you...

Jon and Deanna Ramsay

February 22, 2010

We just heard the devastating news and we are heartbroken. Words just don't seem to even come close to expressing our deepest sympathy. We will be praying fervently for you, Claudine. Our hearts ache for your loss. And for you, Edd and Nina. We are broken for you. We will be on our knees, lifting you all up in prayer, loving you from afar.

Dear Claudine, Nina, Edd and family:
It was a beautiful celebration of E.K's entering heavens, thank you for the beautiful sharing of his life with all of us. It was truly an honor for me to attend it. Claudine, you are a brave young woman, may God Bless those great children and your family.

Carolyn Knudsen

February 22, 2010

Dear Claudine, Edd, Nina, Lisa & Kristin: I can't even begin to imagine the HUGE impact that each of you sustained last week with the passing of Edd K. My heart weighs in "heavy" on your behalf.

Together we grieve and struggle ,at times, to find some comfort in believing that EVERYTHING HAS A PURPOSE IN GOD'S PLAN - Rom 8:28 Whatever that purpose is, I know that you all will bind together to allow "GOOD" to come out of this.

May God's faithful and compassionate LOVE and CARE continue to support and cocoon you and your precious family as each of you must journey to make your own way through this uncharted path.

Sending Embraces, Love and Prayers for each of you
Carolyn Knudsen

Edd, we were shocked to learn of the loss of your son, Edd K. this week. Over the years we have listened through KSEV, to so many wonderful stories about your family. I know we have never met but think of you as family since we spend most every morning with you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult time. We are offering a heartfelt prayer in sympathy today that God will bless and comfort you in His own loving way.

Edd and Nina,
I remember waiting tables at Taste of Texas in Town and Country so many years ago. It was very clear to me how dedicated the two of you were to your faith, your children and each other. I met Edd K. and the girls briefly, and they were all wonderful children. My husband and I are both KSEV listeners and appreciate all that you do for our community. We cannot imagine your pain right now, but our heart and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless you and may you find peace and comfort in Him.

Edd, Nina and Hendee family,

Words cannot fully express your feelings of loss and sadness at this time, so I will not even attempt to do so in this message.

While we do not know one another, I consider myself to be a member of your widely extended family including listeners of Edd's radio show on KSEV, being one of your legion of satisfied cutomers of the Taste of Texas, and being a long-time member of SBC.

I have never experienced the type of loss as you did last week, but I know that your devotion to one another in your earthly family, and your faith in Christ and the hope of Heaven will see you through these dark times. Better days are ahead and you will meet them solidly through your faith.

Dear Nina and Ed and family,

I cannot begin to tell you how I feel your loss. It is so tragic to lose someone so young. My family experienced the death of my brother at the age of 18. He was killed in an accident playing football at his High School Homecoming game. Although, it was many years ago, I still feel his loss when I see other families experience a such tragic loss.
Many years later, I now know why God took his life. We have been able to witness to so many people since his death. We have grown stronger in the Lord. Again, I am so sorry. (Colleen Kennedy, The Houstonian Club)

Donna Williams

I did not know this obviously outstanding young man but I do know his father as my favorite early morning travel radio companion. Having lost two sons I am sure that this young man is in a better place with my boys.
