SUMMERS, Edward Raymond Edward "Fast Eddie" R. Summers, 61, of Boise, was called home by the Lord, Wednesday, May 21, 2014 in Boise, ID after a life long battle with health issues. He was born April 21, 1953 in Spokane, WA to Delbert and Marcella Summers. He graduated from North Central High in Spokane, WA. He entered the United States Air Force in 1971. He married the love of his life Staceia (Moon) Summers on August 2, 1975. Both active in the service, the couple lived at Bergstrom Air Force Base in Austin, TX. Ed and Stace were very active in square dancing before he retired from the service in 1979. Once Ed retired, they moved to Mt.

I am very sadden to see my best friend from High School passed on. Ed and I went thru Scouts and Boot Camp together. Ed, Pinky, and I were inseparable during our school years. Pinky died when I was in Southeast Asia. I have the greatest memories from the Sea Explores to spending the time in San Antonio on the river walk during Base liberty. And the times we went cruising downtown in the 58 ford with no radio and a bottle of cheap wine, oh I miss those times. And the times he worked at to IGA on Indiana next to the Loft and he con me into helping him stock the cooler. The last time I saw Ed was at the 40th reunion, but stayed in touch from time to time as our birthdays were close together. Stacie, my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I will miss the crazy laugh and crooked smile of Ed's. Ed and Pinky are together again.

My son Tyler played for the Jr Steelheads for 2 years (2010-2012). Eddie was one of the first people to welcome us to the team. He took the time to see that Tyler's skates were sharpened properly and his helmet was working properly. He was very helpful and kind- a top notch guy. He will be missed!
