Eddie Lovett Jr. Obituary
Edgar Lee Lovett, Jr. was born March 11, 1955, the son of the late Edgar Lovett and Hazel Maggard Lovett. He passed away on July 30th, 2024, at the University of Kentucky Medical Center, Lexington, KY. He was 69 years old. Ed was a 1973 graduate of Leslie Co. High School and attended Eastern Kentucky University and Cumberland College.
Ed, as he preferred to be called, was a Master Electrician, having retired from Eastern Kentucky University. He enjoyed camping, fishing, and gardening. Ed was a free spirit and a guitar picker. He was a great lover of music, most especially Lynyrd Skynyrd and Creedence Clearwater Revival. As the Angels marched him home to his Heavenly home on what would’ve been his mother’s 100th birthday, they did so to the tune of Skynyrd’s Simple Man—the music Ed requested to be played as he left this earth. It was fitting because he was a simple man, a music man, and now he’s off to play in that eternal Angel Band.
Ed was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Edgar Lovett, Sr. and Hazel Maggard Lovett and brother-in-law, Harlan Douglas Pennington.
Ed leaves surviving two sons, Chad Baker (Pearlie) of Nicholasville, Kentucky and Kyle Alexander Lovett of Berea, Kentucky.
Three grandchildren, Destiny Baker, Lucas Alexander Lovett, and Emberlynn Rose Lovett.
One sister, Peggy Lynn Lovett Covey (Clay) of San Angelo, Texas.
One nephew, Tony Douglas Pennington (Dorothy) of Jackson Kentucky. Two nieces, Kim Pennington Huffman (Todd) of London, Kentucky, and Amy Pennington Brudnicki (Bru) of Richmond, Kentucky, a host of great nieces and nephews and a host of great-great nieces and nephews.
