Eddie enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. He spent countless hours listening to the music of Waylon Jennings and Randy Travis, and he loved relaxing at home playing on the computer. He also enjoyed tinkering around outside in the yard, always finding something to fix, adjust, or improve.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him.
