Joe Edwards Obituary
Joe W. Edwards, age 85, of Little Rock, Ar passed away on March 7th, 2026.
Born on November 9, 1940, in Hobbs, NM, Joe spent many years working as the owner and operator of Edwards & Associates in Little Rock.
Joe was often found having afternoon drinks with family and friends while partaking in his favorite hobby of people watching, and he loved working in his yard on weekends.
Joe is survived by his brother Johnny Edwards of The Villages, FL, children, Mike (Susan) Edwards of Alexander, AR, Melinda (Steve) Foutch of Franklin, TN, and Meredith Edwards of Little Rock, AR, who unselfishly gave so much of herself with caring for her father in his later years. Joe is also survived by his grandchildren, Jessica (Casey) Robertson of Phoenix, AZ, Sam Edwards of Phoenix, AZ, Wyatt (Grace) Foutch of Little Rock, AR and Radford Foutch of Franklin, TN, and a great granddaughter, Amelia Robertson.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Sue Edwards, sisters JoAnn Beck and Pat Brown.
