Eddie was a member of the Wiggins High School class of 1974, and after his high school years he worked with his parents, and siblings farming and trucking. In the late 1970's he stayed in Denver while running truck where he met many friends and made memories that he cherished his whole life.

In 2019, he got one of his greatest joys in life of becoming a grandpa, he was excited for each one of his granddaughters to come along and would have a gift or treat waiting for them when they came to visit.
