He was a man that went by many names.
Eddie Dane, Honey, Daddy, Papaw, Uncle Eddie, Bro. Eddie & Pastor. He touched countless lives during his time that we all were fortunate enough to share with him. Our hearts hurt but selfishly. For him to finally walk through those pearly gates that we all heard him sing & preach of so many times puts a smile on our broken hearts. He unequivocally ran his race & finished every course. If you were blessed enough to call him by one of these names you know exactly that. He loved with his whole heart that's the only way he knew how. We are all better because of HIM living through the man.
In lieu of flowers or gift please make donations to Sugar Grove Bible Baptist Church Mission Fund in honor of Bro. Eddie Calloway. As most know he had a huge heart and love for missions at home and around the world.
