McDowell, Silas McDowell, Matthew McDowell, and grandson Jack McDowell, his brothers Ledge R. McDowell, Sammy Black, and sister Melinda Graves. Eddie Mac graduated from Starkville High School in 1969, and later received his Bachelor's degree from MSU.

Dear family,
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Eddie Mac was a friend to me as a young girl and I so valued that time. He was a gentleman every time we saw each other. My heart hurts for his family. ❤
